SPECTACULAR

PLAYS

football program has experienced numerous highs during the course of its 100-plus year history, claiming 25 conference titles, numerous bowl berths and a plethora of All-Americans and NFL players.

DENNIS MORRIS’ two-yard TD reception on the final play of the first half against LSU in Tiger Stadium in 2009 was a Top 10 Play of the Day on ESPN.

From the very first win in the program’s history (a 6-0 victory over LSU in 1904) to winning the 2011 WAC Championship, Louisiana Tech football has always made its fans proud.

The BULLDOG DEFENSE held Mississippi State scoreless in the second half of its 22-14 come-from-behind victory in the season opener in 2008.

And since making the move from I-AA to I-A in 1989, Louisiana Tech has proven time after time it belongs among the big boys of college football defeating the likes of Alabama (twice), California, Michigan State, Mississippi State (twice), Ole Miss and Oklahoma State since the mid 90s.

QUINCY STEWART and the Bulldog defense gave Andrew Zow and the Crimson Tide offense fits as Tech defeated the eventual Southeastern Conference Champions 29-28 in 1999.

From big wins to great performances to spectacular plays, Louisiana Tech football has always shown the heart of a champion.

NFL Hall of Fame tackle WILLIE ROAF opened the national media’s collective eyes with his performance against top-ranked Alabama and All-American DE Eric Curry in 1992.

23 record. Holtz led ECU to unprecedented heights, including four-straight winning seasons, a quartet of bowl game appearances and the back-to-back league crowns. A once-proud program, Holtz quickly revived the Pirates, which had stumbled to record just three wins in a 25-game period in the two-plus seasons prior to his arrival in 2005. He promptly instilled a sense of pride, commitment, character and discipline into a Pirate team that went on to reward its loyal and passionate fan base with the school’s first-ever run of four consecutive bowl invitations and the program’s first four-year streak of winning seasons since the 1970s. The drastic turnaround at ECU, which included a 7-6 finish in 2006, an 8-5 ledger in 2007, a 9-5 mark in 2008 and another nine-win campaign in 2009, coincided with dramatic school-record attendance increases at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. While the initial success in 2005 relied heavily on a wide-open offensive assault, it was a nononsense and fundamentally-sound defensive effort that launched the Pirates back into college football’s competitive arena a year later. Holtz followed by using a combination of both in 2007, offering a well-balanced offense and a run-stopping, ball-hawking defense to lead East Carolina to its highest Conference USA win total in school history at that time. The Pirates ended up just one victory shy of earning a berth in the league championship game, despite playing one of the toughest schedules in program history, which was loaded with four Bowl Championship Series members. In addition to guiding ECU to its first postseason win since 2000 with a 41-38 victory over No. 24 Boise State in the Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl, Holtz fine-tuned the efforts of running back Chris Johnson, who was college football’s national statistical champion in all-purpose yards. Johnson also became the program’s second first-round draft choice (first since 1992) when the Tennessee Titans selected him with their initial pick in April, 2008. Johnson went on to be named the 2009 NFL Offensive Player of the Year. In 2008, Holtz earned Conference USA Coach of the Year honors, while leading the Pirates to a spot in the Conference USA Championship game. ECU defeated Tulsa to claim the program’s first conference title in 32 years, earning a bid to the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. During that season, Holtz led the Pirates to a No. 14 ranking in the polls and victories over No. 17 Virginia Tech and No. 8 West Virginia. Holtz continued his success at East Carolina in 2009, leading the Pirates to a second consecutive Conference USA Championship. They became the first team in C-USA Championship game history to post consecutive victories. Prior to his time in Greenville, Holtz spent six seasons at South Carolina. He wore several hats during his tenure with the Gamecocks, coaching the quarterbacks his first four seasons, before handling the tight ends in 2003 and then returning to guide the signal-callers in `04. He displayed his all-around abilities as a coach in working closely with the Gamecock offense in addition to handling a variety of duties as assistant head coach under his father, the legendary Lou Holtz. While at South Carolina, Holtz was recognized as an Assistant Coach-of-the-Year in 2001 by the All-American Football Foundation. That year, the Gamecocks ranked second in the Southeastern Conference in rushing offense, and under Holtz’s tutelage, senior Phil Petty went on to lead South Carolina to 17 victories in his last 23 starts, including back-to-back Outback Bowl wins over Ohio State in 2001 (24-7) and `02 (31-28). Holtz went to South Carolina after a successful five-year stint as head coach at fellow BIG EAST school, Connecticut. While at UConn, he led the Huskies to their best season in school history, up to that point, in 1998 and was recognized as one of the top young coaching talents in the country. Holtz has been credited for developing

high-powered and prolific offenses throughout his coaching career. During his last season at Connecticut, he led the Huskies to a then-schoolrecord 10 victories and an appearance in the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. His team ranked 11th nationally in scoring offense and averaged nearly 36 points per game. During his five-year tenure as head coach at UConn, Holtz guided the Huskies’ program to national top 25 rankings the last four seasons and unprecedented success in the school’s 100-year football history, which provided a firm foundation for the school’s eventual move to the FBS level in 2002. The success Holtz earned on the field at Connecticut during his first head coaching tenure was matched by his involvement in the community as a successful speaker, clinician and humanitarian often donating his time and effort to many charitable and educational organizations. He served as the honorary chairman for Camp Courant in Hartford for four consecutive years, helping fund-raising efforts to send more than 1,000 under-privileged area children to recreational and educational camps during the summer. Holtz was also actively involved with the American Diabetes Association, serving as an honorary chairman and member of the Board of Trustees for two years. Holtz was honored in 1996 with the National Football Foundation Man-of-the-Year Award and was a member of the Foundation’s ethics committee. He was also the recipient of the Franciscan Life Center’s St. Francis Award in 1995, an honor given for his dedication and support of Christian values and outstanding athletic achievements. Prior to taking the head coaching job at UConn, Holtz worked on the offensive staff under his father at Notre Dame. He spent four years at Notre Dame and served as the Fighting Irish’s offensive coordinator during the 1992 and `93 seasons. During those years, Holtz was in charge of one of the country’s most potent offensive attacks - a period in which the Irish compiled a 21-2-1 record. The 1992 Notre Dame offense ranked third nationally in total offense, averaging better than 470 yards per game. The 1993 Irish offense, despite the loss of AllAmerica running backs Jerome Bettis and Reggie Brooks, ended the season ranked No. 9 in scoring offense (36.6 points per game). During Holtz’s two seasons as offensive coordinator at Notre Dame, the Irish offense averaged nearly 37 points per game. Holtz has also served on the coaching staffs at Florida State and Colorado State. While serving on Bobby Bowden’s FSU staff in 1987 and `88, the Seminoles rolled to a 22-2 record, captured the Sugar and Fiesta Bowl titles and earned a No. 2 and No. 3 national rank, respectively. In all, he has been involved in eight New Year’s Day bowl games during his coaching career. Prior to his stint at South Carolina, the overall record of teams he had been associated with as an assistant coach was an impressive 67-15-2. Born March 12, 1964, in Willimantic, Conn., Louis “Skip” Holtz spent the first two years of his life in Connecticut, while his father served as the top football assistant on the Huskies’ staff from 196465. He was a prep quarterback at Fayetteville (Ark.)

Joe Aillet Stadium has been home to Louisiana Tech football for 50 years as Bulldog fans have watched legends such as Terry Bradshaw, Roger Carr, Fred Dean, Pat Tilley, Matt Dunigan, William Roaf, Troy Edwards and Tim Rattay all don the Tech red and blue. Opened in 1968 at a capacity of 23,000, Joe Aillet Stadium -- which wasn’t given its current name until Nov. 11, 1972, when it was dedicated in honor of the former Tech coaching legend -- has proven instrumental in some of the biggest wins in the program’s 100-plus year history. The facility was upgraded in 1985 when a luxury sky box was added to the press box and again in 1989, when an additional 7,600 seats were added, increasing the seating capacity to 30,600. In the summer of 2006 Joe Aillet Stadium received a new surface as FieldTurf Mono -- which is considered the top of the line artificial turf -- was installed by FieldTurf Tarkett. In the summer of 2008, that turf was replaced with a new version to include the athletic department’s new logo. In the summer of 2015, Joe Aillet Stadium received another upgraded surface as FieldTurf Revolution was installed in time for the upcoming season. A brand new, state-of-the-art videoboard was installed in the north end zone in time for the 2009 season, a $2 million addition to the facility. Built by Daktronics, the national leader in scoreboard and videoboard manufacturers, it is 25 feet x 45 feet and can show one display or be split into multiple replays. In addition, the south end zone received a brand new LED scoreboard that all fans can easily see during the day or at night. Construction on a new South End Zone facility began as ground was formally broken during the T-Day Spring Game in 2014. The removal of two sections of stands dropped the capacity to 27,717 for the 2014 season with capacity set to rise to 28,019 with the addition of 300 seats in a premium club section opening in time for the 2015 season. With the addition of the new $18-plus million press box and suites facility, the capacity of Joe Aillet Stadium has once again increased to 28,562. As a tribute to the tremendous contributions of the Davison family, Louisiana Tech President Les Guice and Athletics Director Tommy McClelland announced on June 25, 2015 that the University is naming the new south end zone facility at Joe Aillet Stadium in honor of the Davison family. The Davison Athletics Complex is home to the Bulldog football program as the $20 million-plus facility encloses the south end of the stadium. The stadium’s namesake -- Joe Aillet is a member of the Louisiana Tech Athletics Hall of Fame and the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame -- guided his Tech teams to a 151-86-8 record and nine conference championships from 1940-1966. The winning tradition Aillet established during his days of coaching at Louisiana Tech has continued as the

Over the course of the stadium’s history, Tech has dominated opponents as the 152-62-2 record indicates a winning percentage of more than 70 percent. Since Tech moved up to Division I-A in 1989, the Bulldogs have registered a mark of 90-35 at Joe Aillet Stadium, a winning percentage of over 70 percent. In that inaugural game against East Carolina at Joe Aillet Stadium, a young quarterback named Terry Bradshaw guided the Bulldogs to the victory as Tech fullback Buster Herren scored the first touchdown ever at the stadium on a two-yard run with 6:20 remaining in the second quarter.

2018 BULLDOG FOOTBALL

EVER LOYAL BE The 2000 season saw a milestone reached at Joe Aillet Stadium as the Bulldogs under head coach Jack Bicknell recorded the 100th win in the facility’s history. True freshman quarterback Luke McCown tied an NCAA Division I freshman record by tossing six touchdowns in the milestone 48-14 victory over UL-Lafayette on Oct. 14, 2000. Joe Aillet Stadium hosted its first nationally televised game on Dec. 5, 2002, when ESPN came to town to produce Louisiana Tech’s game against Fresno State. Although Tech fell in the contest, it was another milestone for the program and the facility it has called home. The 2004 season opened with another nationally televised home game, as the Bulldogs defeated Nevada 38-21 Sept. 6 on ESPN2. This was just a preview of things to come during the season at Joe Aillet Stadium. Less than one month later, Tech fans were able to witness one of the greatest games in Joe Aillet Stadium history, as Louisiana Tech downed No. 17 Fresno State 28-21 on Oct. 2. Tech trailed 13-0 early in the second quarter before running back Ryan Moats and the Bulldog defense turned up their level of play. Moats rushed for 236 yards and four scores, including the game-winner with just under four minutes to play, which was set up by an interception deep in Fresno State territory. The win was sealed when current Green Bay Packers star Tramon Williams intercepted Paul Pinegar with less than :30 remaining, starting a wild celebration that saw the goal posts in both end zones torn down. The 2011 season saw disappointing lows early on but a wet championship finish. After leading Houston 34-7 with 20 minutes to play, Tech dropped a heart-breaking 35-34 decision to the Cougars but ended the year with seven straight wins, including two at home, as the Bulldogs clinched the 2011 WAC Championship with a 44-0 rout of New Mexico State in a driving rainstorm in late November. These games and many more are what have made Tech fans the real winners over the years. As the warm fall evenings approach and another year of Bulldog football begins, Joe Aillet Stadium will once again host some of the best college football the nation has to offer.

THE

SPIRIT ’88

At the corridor inside the brand new Davison Athletics Complex in the southwest corner of Joe Aillet Stadium where the team enters and exits the field on game days, stands a bronze Bulldog statue named the Spirit of ’88. The statue commemorates the 1988 Bulldog football team that blazed the path into Division I-A football for Louisiana Tech. That 1988 team had to endure one of the most difficult schedules in school history. In what was the nation’s 11th toughest schedule that year, the Bulldogs faced five Division I-A bowl teams including Houston, Florida State and Texas A&M. The results were as expected: losses like 60-0, 56-17 and 66-3 ... but as a team, the Bulldogs grew. Those experiences likely played a key role in Tech finishing 5-4-1 the following year, its first in I-A, and 8-3-1 in 1990’s Independence Bowl season. The statue, which every Tech player and coach touches as he walks onto the field before every home game, also brought good fortune to the Bulldogs at home. On Oct. 14, 1989, when it was unveiled, Tech proceeded to pummel a very good Northern Illinois team, 42-21. That was just the start of one of the best runs in Tech football history. Over the next four-plus seasons, home games were few and far between, but each one resulted in a win. The Bulldogs eventually reeled off 18 consecutive home victories, tying the alltime stadium record set by head coach Maxie Lambright’s great teams of the early 1970s. Some wins have been more magical than others. The endings to three of the biggest wins in school history have taken place in the south end zone ... almost as if the Spirit of ’88 has played an integral role. In only Louisiana Tech’s second season in the Division I-A ranks, the Bulldogs trailed Colo-

2018 BULLDOG FOOTBALL

rado State, 30-14, late in the third quarter and their bowl hopes looked bleak. However, 17 unanswered points later, Tech had rallied for a 31-30 win over the bowl-bound Rams to earn their own Independence Bowl berth. The winning touchdown pass from Gene Johnson to Bobby Slaughter in the final minutes came fittingly in the south end zone, just in front of the Spirit of ’88. Eleven years later, Tech clinched a share of its first Western Athletic Conference title with a 48-42 win over Boise State at Joe Aillet Stadium. With the Broncos driving towards what looked like a game-winning score late in the contest, the Spirit of ’88 magic struck once again. Ryan Dinwiddie’s potential game-winning touchdown pass bounced off the helmet of a Tech defender and high into the air before Bulldog defensive lineman Brandon Avance plucked it out of the air, giving Tech the victory. Some might say it’s a coincidence that the two biggest wins in the program’s Division I-A history had been decided in the south end zone under the watchful eyes of the Spirit of ’88. However, the third time proved it was more than just chance. On a warm Oct. 2 evening in 2004, Louisiana Tech found itself trailing No. 17 ranked Fresno State, 21-20 late in the fourth quarter. Fresno State had the football and the momentum, trying to move out of its own end zone – the south end zone – against a Tech defense and its 12th man, or should we say Dawg. On third down Fresno State quarterback Paul Pinegar was intercepted by Byron Santiago who returned the football down to the 16-yard line. Two plays later, Ryan Moats gave Tech a 2821 lead and the eventual win as he rushed eight yards to the right corner of the south end zone. The Bulldogs had defeated the 17th-ranked team in the nation. A Joe Aillet Stadium crowd of almost 20,000 celebrated wildly with the Tech players, coaches and the Spirit of ’88. From 1989 to 2013, the Spirit of ’88 stood at the bottom of the ramp in the south end of Joe Aillet Stadium. Due to construction on the Davison Athletics Complex during the 2014 season,

it was temporarily relocated, but continued to be available for the team to touch before it takes the field. For the first time in its history, the newlymobilized Spirit of ’88 accompanied the Bulldogs on a pair of road trips during the 2014 season. The bronze statue made an appearance in Huntington, West Virginia, for the Conference USA Championship game before traveling to the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl at Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas, where LA Tech came away with a 35-18 victory over Illinois. Some may say the powers of that bronze Bulldog are a fluke. Tech fans won’t agree. The numbers say 80 wins and just 33 losses at Joe Aillet Stadium since the Spirit of ’88 was unveiled. So fluke or not, the Bulldogs will continue to touch it each home game and hope the wins continue.

EVER LOYAL BE C-USA BOWL OVERVIEW 2017-2019

Conference USA will have nine bowl affiliations through the 2019 season, securing a minimum of six berths annually and offering fans a number of great destinations across America and beyond.

2018 C-USA BOWL SYNOPSIS

Conference USA has agreements with two bowls in the state of Florida: the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl (Tampa Bay, Fla.) and the Cheribundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton Bowl, along with an agreement with the Bahamas Bowl near the coast of the Sunshine State. C-USA maintains longtime relationships with the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl and the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl in the central region as well as the New Mexico Bowl in the southwest and the Hawai’i Bowl in the far West.

Conference USA has secured guaranteed commitments for six bowl spots for the 2018 season, as well as maintaining two secondary agreements. The Bahamas, Cheribundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton, Hawai’i, New Mexico, and R+L Carriers New Orleans bowls are joined by a spot in either the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla (Tampa Bay) and Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowls as the primary agreements. The Frisco Bowl in Frisco, Texas and the Walk-On’s Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., (should the ACC or SEC not be able to provide a bowl-eligible team) serve as secondary bowls. There is no set selection order among CUSA’s bowl partners. Per conference regulations, all teams with seven or more wins shall be placed into conference bowls prior to any other bowl eligible teams without a winning record (i.e. 6-6 record).

Conference USA has secondary agreements with two bowls also located right within the league’s footprint, giving teams the opportunities to participate in the Frisco Bowl in Frisco, Texas and the Walk-On’s Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La.

As a member of the College Football Playoff, Conference USA will be a part of one of the CFP bowls if it produces the highest rated champion from among the American Athletic, C-USA, Mid-American, Mountain West and Sun Belt Conferences.

In these bowls, Conference USA will have the opportunity to face opponents from the American Athletic, Big Ten, Mid-American, Mountain West and Sun Belt Conferences.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL OFF PLAY O

The Playoff During the 2014-15 season, college football entered a new era when postseason playoffs began. The format is simple: top four teams, two semifinals played in bowl games, and a national championship game played in a different city each year. Each semifinal will be played during the New Year’s holiday with the national championship game in prime time on a Monday night at least a week later. The Selection Committee A selection committee will choose the four teams for the playoff based on their performance during the regular season, including, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, championships won, and other factors. The teams will be seeded so that #1 will play #4 in one semifinal and #2 will meet #3 in the other, with the winners advancing to the national championship game. The Rotation The semifinals will rotate among six different bowls, extending the experience to more fans. In the years when the bowls are not hosting semifinals, the bowls will feature eight other teams in four compelling matchups. For the 2018-19 season, the Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual (Jan. 1), Allstate Sugar Bowl (Jan. 1), Playstation Fiesta Bowl (Jan. 1) and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl (Dec. 29), will host its regular bowl games, while the Goodyear Cotton Bowl (Dec. 29) and Capital One Orange Bowl (Dec. 29) will host semifinals. The College Football Championship will be held on Monday, Jan. 7 in the Bay Area (Santa Clara, California). C-USA and the College Football Playoff As a member of the College Football Playoff, Conference USA will be a part of one of the College Football Playoff bowls if it has the highest rated champion from among the American Athletic, C-USA, Mid-American, Mountain West and Sun Belt Conferences.

NORTHWESTERN STATE 24 LOUISIANA TECH 52 JOE AILLET STADIUM • RUSTON, LA.

RUSTON, La. - Senior Jarred Craft scored three touchdowns, including a pair of fourth quarter scores, to lead Louisiana Tech to a 52-24 victory over Northwestern State Saturday night before 24,002 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium. After Northwestern State (0-1) scored a pair of touchdowns following LA Tech (1-0) turnovers early in the third quarter to tie the game at 24-24, the Bulldogs answered with 28 unanswered points, including 21 in the final stanza to dodge the upset bug in the opener for both teams. “So many times as a coach, you have a tendency to look at the mistakes you make as a football team,” head coach Skip Holtz said. “You get frustrated and you understand how far we have to go. But when you came into this one, when we came into this game, we talked about our youth. We talked about our inexperience. I was really worried about a lot of guys that had never played before. But I thought some guys stepped up and did some really good things, and I think there were some things that we definitely need to make a lot of improvements from week one to week two.” Craft, the senior running back from Haughton, led a potent Bulldog rushing attack with 86 yards and two touchdowns (2, 2) while adding a 17-yard scoring reception to his resume. As a team, Tech rushed for 221 yards as quarterback J’Mar Smith added 72 yards and Boston Scott tallied 55 yards. Scott also led Tech with 55 yards receiving. “It was good,” said Craft. “It was a team win. Obviously the first game, we kind of made some mistakes. Felt like we kind of started off a little bit slow but the second half we started to pick everything up and started to execute.” Northwestern State began the game with a bit of flare with a double-reverse on an 18yard pass from Bobby Chan-Chan to quarterback J.D. Almond. Following that, the Demons quickly made a statement with a 52-yard touchdown pass from Almond to Jaylen Watson to put the visitors on the board first. After a couple of stalled drives by both teams in the first quarter, LA Tech’s offense started clicking enough to drive down the field and set up a 31-yard field goal by Jonathan Barnes, which cut Northwestern State’s lead to 7-3. From there, the fun really began for the Bulldogs, as DeJuawn Oliver recovered a Northwestern State fumble on the ensuing kickoff and returned it 21 yards for the touchdown to put LA Tech ahead, 10-7. Special teams once again delivered for the Bulldogs later in the first half when LA Tech’s defense forced a punt, which resulted in Teddy Veal’s highlight-reel 71-yard punt return for a touchdown to increase Tech’s lead to 17-7 over Northwestern State. A Northwestern State field goal cut the lead to seven, but LA Tech responded with yet another big play after J’Mar Smith connected with Javonte Woodard for 53 yards before Jarred Craft punched it in for the touchdown from two yards out to give Tech a 24-10 lead before half. Back-to-back fumbles by Tech to start the third quarter opened the door for the Demons. Northwestern State capitalized on a three-yard TD run and a 27-yard TD pass to tie the game at 24-24 with 13:05 to play in the quarter. Following some empty possessions by both teams, Tech finally retook the lead on a nine-play, 74-yard drive that was capped by a four-yard touchdown run by red-shirt sophomore Jaqwis Dancy. It was the first career TD for Dancy, who missed all of last season after battling Stage 3 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. “The touchdown, that was very emotional,” said Dancy. “I really broke down a little bit and I thanked Jesus for like everything that He did and brought me through.” Tech added three scores in the final 15 minutes, including a Craft two-yard plunge and 17-yard reception and a 36-yard strike from Smith to wide receiver Rashid Bonnette. After losing the Conference USA MVP in quarterback Ryan Higgins and a pair of Biletnikoff semifinalists in wide receivers Trent Taylor and Carlos Henderson to the NFL, the Bulldog offense appeared to search for an identity at times. Smith ended the night completing 18-of-35 passes for 276 yards and two scores, but looked hesitant at times in only his second career start. Despite the struggles, Tech amassed 497 yards and 52 points in the game. Defensively, Tech forced three turnovers -- two interceptions by Dae’Von Washington and a fumble recovery by Oliver -- while also recording three sacks (Jordan Bradford, Courtney Wallace and Deldrick Canty). The Bulldogs registered six tackles for loss and six quarterback hurries on the night.

“Yeah, I always talk about giving the ball back to the offense,” said Canty. “We always want to set our offense up to make plays, so our defense, we stress it a lot to always try to do our best and make sure we get three-and-out, or do our best to get a ball and make sure the offense don’t score. It goes pretty good both ways.” Score by Quarters Northwestern State Louisiana Tech

MISSISSIPPI STATE LOUISIANA TECH

JOE AILLET STADIUM • RUSTON, LA.

57 21

RUSTON, La. - Mississippi State scored 36 consecutive points during the first half thanks to a variety of Louisiana Tech mistakes as the SEC Bulldogs topped the C-USA Bulldogs 57-21 before 28,100 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday night. The attendance marked the second largest in the history of the stadium, trailing only the 28,714 fans at LA Tech’s game vs. then-NLU in 1997. “I thought (Mississippi State) was excellent tonight,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “I hate the mistakes that we made. The things we did -- we shoot ourselves in the foot, which makes it very difficult to beat a very talented SEC team like Mississippi State with what they did. Just proud of the way our players competed, but certainly I’ve got to do a better job as a head coach, and we’ve got to do a better job protecting the football.” LA Tech (1-1) appeared poised to pull off an impressive win early as the Louisiana-based Bulldogs took an early 9-0 lead in the first quarter. Highlighted by a 58-yard hookup between Tech quarterback J’Mar Smith and Marcus Gaines, Tech drove inside the Mississippi State 10-yard line before stalling. Jonathan Barnes booted a 27-yard field goal with 13:21 to play in the first quarter to give the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead. The Bulldogs from Ruston once again struck with the big play later the first when the true freshman cornerback Amik Robertson picked off Nick Fitzgerald and returned it 62 yards to the 2-yard line. A few plays later, Kam McKnight punched it in from the 1-yard line to extend LA Tech’s lead. A blocked point-after attempt by Jonathan Barnes made it a 9-0 lead for Tech with 6:46 remaining in the first quarter. On the next drive, a Mississippi State field goal cut LA Tech’s lead to six, but the momentum shift followed quickly behind after Mississippi State blocked a punt and recovered for a touchdown, followed by an interception that resulted in a 17-yard drive and another six points for the Bulldogs from Starkville. “Like I said, I thought we made mistakes,” said Holtz. “We have nobody to blame but ourselves for the amount of turnovers we had, and then just some of the mistakes we made. I thought our defense competed. I thought we ran the ball, but we didn’t play well on the perimeter in throwing and catching the ball.” Mississippi State added 20 points in the second quarter. A fumble recovery set up a two-play, 14-yard drive for a score and then a highlight reel 30-yard TD scamper by Nick Fitzgerald upped the advantage to 30-9. The SEC Bulldogs then drove 76-yards on 11 plays, capped by a 21-yard pass from Fitzgerald to Gabe Myles. Tech blocked the extra point and Robertson returned it the length of the field for two points to make it 36-11. Barnes added a 45-yard field goal as the first half expired for Tech to cut the deficit to 36-14 at the half. Any chance of a Tech comeback was doused early in the third quarter as Fitzgerald scored on a 44-yard run 33 seconds into the stanza and Jeffery Simmons returned a Smith fumble 90 yards for a score at the 9:48 mark of the third. Miss State led 50-14. Tech had an opportunity to score early in the fourth quarter. On second down and goal to goal from the Mississippi State six-yard line, a shotgun snap sailed high over Smith’s head. As both teams chased down the ball, it was accidently kicked numerous times towards the opposite end of the field. Tech finally recovered on its own seven-yard line, for a team rush loss of 87 yards. “Like I said, it was a frustrating night for sure,” said Holtz. “We lost 122 yards into the total yards on the night. If we don’t have minus (87) on a snap when we get down there. We get down there another time, turn the ball over, fumble, they score with it. We get outgained by 140 yards tonight and lose 120, 87-some of them on that play.” Kylin Hill capped Miss State’s scoring with a 2-yard run late in the third. Tech scored a late touchdown on a 9-yard strike from Westin Elliott to Zach Cousar with 15 seconds to play in the game. Boston Scott rushed for 96 yards and Jarred Craft added 81 yards on the ground for Tech. However, the Bulldogs completed just 13-of-30 passes on the night for 163 yards. Gaines led the Tech receivers with 104 yards on three receptions. “I thought our players competed,” said Holtz. “I was encouraged with the way we ran the ball, and I thought our offensive line did a really nice job in having two seniors like Jarred Craft and Boston Scott.” Brandon Durman led Tech with eight tackles while Robertson added four tackles, one TFL and his first career interception. “There are a lot of questions about this team,” said Holtz. “We talked about feast or

famine, and I thought we saw some of the goods tonight and saw some of the bads tonight. I keep talking about I don’t know what to expect. I’ve got some seasoned, experienced players that I really feel good about, and I’ve got a lot of guys that have played in their second college football game tonight.” Score by Quarters Mississippi State Louisiana Tech

HOUCHENS-SMITH STADIUM • BOWLING GREEN, KY.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Louisiana Tech and WKU have played some classic games during the past three years and Saturday night at Feix Field was no different. Trailing 22-13 entering the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs defense stood tall on a numerous four quarter possessions while the LA Tech offense came up with some late big plays of its own. Sophomore quarterback J’Mar Smith led a pair of late game scoring drives and senior Jonathan Barnes’ 22-yard field goal with two seconds to play giving the Bulldogs (2-1, 1-0 C-USA) a 23-22 win over WKU, snapping the Hilltoppers 13-game home conference win streak before 16,223 fans. “We talked about it would take 60 minutes,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “This game has been a three point game almost every time. This is the third time we’ve played in 365 days. We felt we had to come up here and find a way to win on the road. It’s hard to do here. This is championship football and we found a way. No one hung their head. We threw the interception with three minutes to go, but we found a way. The defense came up with some big stops.” LA Tech opened league play on the road for the fourth straight year, the only team in C-USA that has been saddled with that burden, and found a way to pick up a huge road win in a match-up of the two teams that were the preseason picks to win the East and West Divisions. Smith passed for 306 yards, but saved his best for last, leading a 91-yard TD drive and the game-winning 58-yard, game-winning field goal drive. Trailing 22-13, Tech’s defense got a huge stop as linebacker Brandon Durman sacked WKU quarterback Mike White on a third down and seven play, forcing a Hilltoppers punt. The Bulldogs offense took over on its own 9-yard line with 8:14 to play. Smith then drove the Bulldogs 91-yards on eight plays, including a 38-yard hookup with Rashid Bonnette that put LA Tech on the Hilltoppers 16-yard line. Following a personal foul penalty on a targeting call against WKU linebacker Derik Overstreet moved the ball to the eight, Tech took just three more plays to score as Kam McKnight found paydirt from the 2-yard line. Barnes extra point made the score 22-20 WKU. Tech’s defense stood tall once again, forcing WKU into another three-and-out. Smith and the Bulldogs offense appeared poised for another scoring drive as Tech drove to midfield. However, it was WKU’s turn to get a big stop as Smith’s deep pass down the right sideline was intercepted by Josh Brown, giving the Toppers the ball with 3:31 to play. “It’s second and five with three minutes to go and we don’t need a touchdown,” said Holtz. “We were getting close to field goal range. I told him coming off the field to take the 5 yards, then another 5 yards. Let’s work our way down and take high percentage shots. J’Mar felt he could slip it in there. It’s a learning lesson for him. I felt like he grew up a little bit tonight.” WKU was only one first down away from sealing the win, but the Bulldogs defense came through again. Tech All-American defensive end Jaylon Ferguson sacked White on a third down and seven, once again forcing a WKU and giving the Dogs one last chance. “Early it seemed like our defense couldn’t get off the field,” said Holtz. “I told Coach (Blake) Baker that it felt like we were playing one of the military schools with the wishbone. They just controlled the ball throwing a lot underneath. Mike White was accurate and they did a good job of protecting him. But we made adjustments and the defense came up huge for us in the fourth quarter with the game on the line. I couldn’t be more proud of them.” This time Smith and Co. wouldn’t come up short. Back-to-back 18-yard completions to Adrian Hardy and Teddy Veal drove Tech down to the WKU 26-yard line. Jarred Craft then picked up nine yards on the ground and a horse collar penalty on the play against the Hilltoppers took the ball to the eight. With time running down and WKU down to one timeout, the Bulldogs handed it off twice to Craft up the middle, setting up Barnes final kick for the win. “We ended up putting the saddle on J’Mar and for a sophomore coming in here, he never flinched,” said Holtz. “He came up big. Last week he learned some great lessons. I thought he did a really good job of taking what the WKU defense gave him tonight.” WKU led 15-3 early on a pair of TDs before Smith found Bonnette for an 87-yard scoring strike, the ninth longest pass play in Bulldog history. Barnes 36-yard field goal with 21 seconds to play in the second quarter cut the WKU lead to 15-13 at the half. Tech appeared poised to take the lead late in the third quarter when Smith found Bonnette behind the WKU secondary for an apparent TD, but the sophomore saw this one slip through his hands. Following a Tech punt, White drove the Hilltoppers 78 yards on eight

plays as WKU took a 22-13 lead on a 19-yard run by Jakairi Moses. The much-maligned Bulldog defense made the fourth quarter its own, holding WKU to a total of 18 yards on 15 offensive plays. Bonnette led Tech with 140 yards on three catches while Veal added 78 yards on a career-high nine receptions. Craft led the Tech ground game with 81 yards on 14 carries. Secdrick Cooper, Aaron Roberson and Durman led Tech with nine tackles each while Ferguson totaled two of Tech’s four sacks in a game that saw only one total turnovers between the two teams.

WILLIAMS-BRICE STADIUM • COLUMBIA, S.C.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - For the second straight week, Louisiana Tech found itself trailing late on the road against a formidable opponent -- this time in SEC country against the South Carolina Gamecocks at Williams-Brice Stadium. And for the second straight week, sophomore quarterback J’Mar Smith led a long scoring drive that allowed Jonathan Barnes to kick a 25-yard field goal with 55 seconds to play, giving Tech a 16-14 lead. However, the Bulldog defense which shut South Carolina off the scoreboard through the first three quarters allowed Gamecock quarterback Jake Bentley to scramble 24 yards on a third down play. Bentley then completed a 41-yard Hail Mary to Bryan Edwards, setting up the game-winning 31-yard field goal by Parker White as USC defeated Tech 17-16 before over 71,000 fans. “I’m proud of them and the way they competed,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “They played a great game. We asked them to come in and play tough, both mentally and physically. They did both. To win an SEC road game is as mentally hard as it is physically. It was a hard fought game. I give USC a lot of credit. They made the plays at end that they needed to. It’s a wave of emotions to go through. It’s a frustrating way to lose. I’m proud of our team and the way they competed. “We made a lot of mistakes against Mississippi State and today we got a second chance. We are improving. It’s a long process and a long season. We have to take the hurt and the pain and grow from it.” Tech led 6-0 at halftime and pushed the advantage to 13-0 on a 3-yard TD pass from Smith to Teddy Veal with 8:54 to play in the third quarter. The Bulldogs appeared poised to put another stake in the hearts of USC late in the third quarter, driving inside the USC 5-yard line. However, on a third-down and goal play, Smith tried to force a pass that was intercepted, negating the Bulldogs chance to add points to the scoreboard. USC rode the momentum of the turnover as Bentley drove the Gamecocks 97 yards on 16 plays, the final 28 yards coming on a TD strike to OrTre Smith with 11:06 to play in the game. White’s extra point cut the Tech lead to 13-7. Following a pair of three-and-outs by the Tech offense, USC took only two plays to drive 74 yards as the Gamecocks took their first lead of the game on a 35-yard scoring run by Ty’Son Williams. White’s extra point gave USC a 14-13 lead with 4:52 to play. Tech wasn’t done. After a holding penalty on the ensuing kickoff pushed the Bulldogs back to the eight yard line, Smith led a 10-play, 84-yard drive capped by Barnes 25-yard boot. The drive was highlighted by a 42-yard hookup to Teddy Veal that gave the Bulldogs possession at the USC 25. Tech led 16-14 with under a minute to play. “We got some pressure on the quarterback,” said Holtz. “The scramble at end of game was just one of those things. Things like that are frustrating. I thought the defensive line played very physical. I didn’t think our offensive line played very well. We had way too many unblocked hats. I didn’t think we played well up front and couldn’t run the ball and had to put a lot on J’Mar. Outside of one play, he played an outstanding game. For a sophomore to come into this venue and play like he did, I’m very proud of him.” With 55 seconds to play and no timeouts remaining, USC took over on its 21-yard line. Back-to-back incomplete passes set up a third down and 10 with 36 seconds remaining. Under heavy pressure, Bentley escaped the rush and scrambled 24 yards to the USC 45 yard line for a first down. With the clock running down, Bentley then threw up a prayer into a crowd of players and Edwards outjumped a trio of LA Tech defenders, batted the ball into the air and came down with the catch, setting up the game-winning field goal. Smith ended the game 23-of-33 for 281 yards and one score while Veal recorded career-highs with 10 catches for 110 yards and one score. Rashid Bonnette added six receptions for 94 yards. Aaron Roberson and Russell Farris led Tech with eight tackles while DeMarion King and Brandon Durman added seven tackles.

SOUTH ALABAMA LOUISIANA TECH

JOE AILLET STADIUM • RUSTON, LA.

RUSTON, La. - J’Mar Smith tossed three touchdowns and Jonathan Barnes became the program’s all-time leader in made field goals leading Louisiana Tech to a 34-16 win over South Alabama before 22,013 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday night. Smith set career-highs in completions (24), yards (317) and touchdowns, tossing scoring strikes of 40, 10 and 30 yards to three different receivers. The sophomore hit nine different receivers on a night that saw him also utilize his running ability in attacking the Jaguars defense. Barnes’ 31-yard field goal with 3:07 to play in the second quarter was the 66th of his career, moving him past former Bulldog Josh Scobee for first place in the Tech record books. He added a 29-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter that gave Tech a two score cushion. After USA (1-4) took an early 7-0 lead on a 29yard TD strike with 9:20 to play in the opening quarter, Tech (3-2) reeled off 17 straight points. Smith hit Teddy Veal for a 40-yard score on an out pattern that saw Veal catch the ball around the Jaguars 30yard line before breaking two tackles and outracing the rest of the USA secondary to the end zone. Three minutes later, Tech struck again. This time Smith rolled out of the pocket to his right and found Jarred Craft in the back right corner of the endzone on a tremendous catch for a 10-yard scoring strike. Barnes’ PAT made it 14-7 with 4:18 to play in the first quarter. On the first play of the second quarter, Barnes entered the Tech record books, connecting from 31 yards and capping a 10-play, 44-yard drive. Tech led 17-7. “It is a W,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “The thing that was just, it was frustrating offensively tonight. We really got kind of out of a rhythm. It seemed like we started off so well and we were really rolling along.” After amassing 212 yards of total offense in the first quarter, the Bulldogs became stagnant, totaling just 78 total yards of offense in the second and third quarters combined. Field position also played a factor as Tech’s five offensive possessions in those two quarters started on the Bulldogs own 1, 11, 12, 19 and 28-yard lines. “In the second half, especially the third quarter it felt like we were on the edge of a cliff on our own goal line most of the third quarter,” said Holtz. “And we were, most of those third downs were probably 15 plus. So penalties, dropped balls, it certainly wasn’t a very clean game offensively.” Defensively, the Bulldogs bent but never broke after the initial touchdown by South Alabama in the first quarter. Tech’s defensive unit surrendered just three field goals (41, 46, 26) over USA’s final 11 offensive possessions. Bulldog safety Scedrick Cooper also recorded the first two interceptions of his career, including one with USA inside the Tech red zone. “It felt great,” said Cooper of the interceptions. “The first interception of my career and it was great to have two of them. We practiced hard this week. We had a different type of focus this week, and it showed at clutch times in this game. And I want to thank Coach (Blake) Baker for helping us out by having us out fighting each day and competing.” With Tech holding onto a slim 17-16 lead in the fourth quarter, Smith led the Bulldogs on a seven-play, 90-yard drive that was capped by a 30-yard scoring toss to freshman Adrian Hardy in the front right corner of the south endzone. It was the first career TD reception by Hardy, who ended the night with a career-high four receptions and a career-high 68 yards. Following a defensive stop by Tech on USA’s next possession, the Bulldogs mounted an 11-play, 77-yard drive that took 5:49 off the clock. Barnes’ 29-yard field goal pushed the lead to 27-16. The drive was highlighted by a 19-yard reception by Veal, who led all Tech receivers with five catches for 88 yards. With their back against the wall and time running out in the fourth quarter, South Alabama failed on a fourth down play from their own 27-yard line. Tech took over with 3:24 remaining and on the first play from scrimmage, Boston Scott raced up the middle untouched for a 27-yard scoring run for the final TD of the night. Tech totaled 189 yards of total offense in the fourth quarter while the Bulldog defense held USA to only 31 yards of total offense over the final 15 minutes. In the Jaguar’s final five possessions, the Bulldog defense forced four punts and a turnover on downs. USA quarterback Cole Garvin threw for 235 yards but completed just 21-of-45 passes with two interceptions in the game. Xavier Johnson rushed for a game-high 89 yards on 12 carries for the Jaguars. “Just so happy with the way we competed early,” said USA coach Joey Jones. “We go in “at halftime, it was a close ball game, come out third quarter is nip and tuck, back and forth.

The defense gave the ball to us a couple times inside the 50, and we just didn’t cash in on those opportunities we had to at that time. “In the fourth quarter they made some long drives and just kind of iced the game. But that’s a very good football team we just played, probably going to win a Conference USA and there’s no moral deals in here, no moral victories at all.” Scott led the Tech ground game with 76 yards on six carries while Craft added 49 yards and Smith chipped in with 37 yards. “We knew they were coming in there and they did exactly what we thought they were going to do,” said Smith. “They switched it up just a little, but we reacted in a good way. We threw the ball down the field, and got two touchdowns early. But I just wished we could have continued it throughout the game, just not had a bad quarter. But that’s the game of football. You have ups and downs, and you have to find a way to dig through it and fight for the next play.” Score by Quarters South Alabama Louisiana Tech

LOUISIANA TECH UAB

LEGION FIELD • BIRMINGHAM, ALA.

22 23

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Jonathan Barnes’ potential game-winning 29-yard field goal was blocked as time expired giving the underdog UAB Blazers a dramatic 23-22 win over Louisiana Tech at Legion Field Saturday afternoon. “It looked like the jumper got it,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “On the field, it didn’t look like there was a lot of penetration. They were calling their timeouts and they had a guy like 6-foot-8 out there. I told John to just sand wedge it. He didn’t have to drive it. It just looked like they jumped up and made a play.” Tech (3-3, 1-1 C-USA) trailed all day. Missed tackles; costly penalties; and three missed kicks, including two extra points, were simply too much to overcome. The Bulldogs entered the game with only 17 penalties through five games. However, this day would be different. “I don’t remember (ever having this many penalties either),” said Holtz. “There were a lot of them tonight. Ten. We are averaging like three a game. I think there were some tough calls out there. I will have to see some of it on film. The taunting penalty was foolish. The late hit out of bounds. We had a holding and a couple of offsides. It’s just very uncharacteristic of us.” The Bulldogs struggled from the opening kickoff. After a three-and-out by the Tech offense, the Bulldog defense saw UAB use a nine-play, 61yard drive to take a 6-0 lead on a 3-yard run by AJ Erdely. The extra point hit the right upright and bounced away, setting the tone for a game that would be riddled by extra point issues. Following another unproductive drive by Tech, UAB returned a Brady Farlow punt 46 yards down to the Bulldog 14-yard line. This time it took UAB only two plays as Spencer Brown took a handoff off left tackle for an 11-yard run and a 13-0 Blazers advantage. Tech finally found some offensive rhythm on its third possession. J’Mar Smith drove Tech 76-yards on 11 plays, finding Teddy Veal for a 16-yard scoring strike in the far back corner of the end zone. Barnes extra point made it 13-7 UAB with 4:51 to play in the first quarter. The two teams traded field goals in the second quarter. Barnes connected from 39 yards away before UAB’s Nick Vogel split the uprights from 27 yards out. UAB led 16-10 at halftime. The second half was better in some ways for the Bulldogs as the Tech defense held UAB to only seven points after intermission. However, Tech was flagged for seven second half penalties for 80 yards and yet the Bulldogs still had a chance to win. After a scoreless third quarter, Tech finally found paydirt early in the fourth. Kameron McKnight scored on a one-yard run, capping an impressive 12-play, 85-yard drive. However, McKnight was flagged for taunting after the score, pushing the extra point back 15 yards. Barnes 35-yard attempt was wide and the game was tied at 16-16. UAB answered, Erdely gave the Blazers a 23-16 lead on a one-yard run with 6:02 to play in the game. Tech responded once again. This time Smith found DeJuawn Oliver for a 42-yard scoring strike with 3:32 to play. Barnes’ initial attempt at the extra point was good. But an illegal procedure penalty against Tech forced a retry that Barnes pushed wide right. UAB led 23-22. With time running down, the Tech defense stood tall, forcing a three and out. The Bulldogs took over on their own 45-yard line with 2:08 to play. Smith then completed a 19-yard pass to Veal and a 23-yard pass to Boston Scott, giving Tech the ball on the UAB 13. After two run plays netted one yard, Tech called a timeout with three seconds to play, setting up the potential game-winner. The 29-yard attempt was blocked and the game was over. “It’s very uncharacteristic when you look at what John has done in his career,” said Holtz. “He has been perfect in the final two minutes of games. He missed the longer extra point. The taunting penalty was foolish and put us back on it. We just made some mistakes as a team. It’s unfortunate. I give UAB a lot of credit. They dropped eight in coverage and we struggled to run the football against a 5-man front. That’s our downfall.” Smith completed 17-of-29 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns while Veal led Tech with five catches for 74 yards and one score. Scott led the Tech ground game with 48 yards on 14 carries while Jaqwis Dancy added 44 yards on five carries. Brown led UAB with 165 yards rushing on 25 carries while Erdely completed 21-of-32 passes for 188 yards.

SOUTHERN MISS LOUISIANA TECH

34 27 (2ot)

JOE AILLET STADIUM • RUSTON, LA. RUSTON, La. - Southern Miss rallied from 11 points down with less than four minutes to play in regulation and then got two defensive stops, including the game-clinching one in the second overtime, as the Golden Eagles downed Louisiana Tech 34-27 before 17,815 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday night. J’Mar Smith’s two-yard TD run with 4:08 to play in the game gave the Bulldogs (3-4, 1-2 C-USA) a 27-16 lead and capped an impressive five-play, 96-yard drive that was highlighted by an 82-yard reception by Marlon Watts. The score gave the Tech faithful what turned out to be a false sense of security. “I thought that Marlon Watts made a great play over here on the sideline when we were backed up and got the ball all the way down there and then we ended up running it in,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “You take an 11-point lead and we just weren’t able to hold on to it. “Defensively, I thought we did some really good things, but we weren’t very good on third down. We couldn’t get off the field. There were a number of third and medium situations, and we just couldn’t get off the field. It’s just unfortunate.” Following the Smith touchdown, Southern Miss (5-2, 3-1 C-USA) drove down to the Tech 32 before Parker Shaunfield connected on a 49-yard field goal with 1:23 to play to cut the deficit to 27-19. The Bulldogs were an onside kick away from the win. However, Tech’s special teams were unable to recover the onside kick and following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against USM, the Golden Eagles started on their own 37 yard line with just one timeout to play. Three plays later, Keon Howard tossed a 22-yard touchdown pass to Korey Robertson with 31 seconds to play in regulation and then found Jay’Shawn Washington for the two-point conversion to send the game into overtime. “As hard as these players work and as supportive of a fan base as we have to come out here and to play at home,” said Holtz. “And I’m sure there’s a message in all this, when you look at some of the way that we have lost games with South Carolina and this one and UAB. But all I know is you better have an incredible amount of resolve.” In the first overtime, Smith had a wide open Kam McKnight running a seam route on second down, but his pass was thrown flat allowing Tarvarius Moore to intercept it, ending the Bulldog possession. Needing only a field goal to win the game, Southern Miss decided to put the ball in the air on second down. Tech freshman cornerback Amik Robertson made a game-saving play by ripping the pass away from the USM receiver for his second interception of the year. “We got talent in that locker room, we’ve got some willing players that we have got to do a better job as coaches, we have got to put them in better chances to give them a chance to be successful, and we have got to have some resolve,” said Holtz. “And the thing that happens sometimes when you lose, you get frustrated and but we got to keep this thing together and we just got to continue to battle.” It took Southern Miss only one play to take the lead in the second overtime period. Howard hit Robertson for a 25-yard score in the southeast corner of the endzone for the touchdown, giving the Golden Eagles their first lead of the game. The Bulldogs got a first down on two plays to put the ball on the USM 13 yard line. However, a three-yard loss on a run play on first down and then an 11-yard loss on a sack on second down pushed the football back to the USM 27-yard line. Smith then underthrew Teddy Veal around the USM 10-yard line on third down and had the ball knocked away from him on a fourth down pass, ending the game. “It’s right up there,” said Southern Miss coach Jay Hopson when asked about the wild ending. “I’ve been in a few wild ones, but that might have taken the cake. It’s right up there at the top. I can’t tell you how proud I am of the players, coaches, we just kept plugging, kept digging, and found a way when it didn’t look like there was a way. And again, it’s just a great team win and just amazing.” Southern Miss dominated the time of possession in the game, holding the ball for 40:52 compared to Tech’s 19:08. Playing most of the game without running back Ito Smith who was injured in the first half, USM turned to the air, completing 32-of-53 passes for 301 yards and two interceptions. USM recorded 30 first downs to Tech’s 15. Smith had a tough night at the office, completing only 11 of 28 passes for 194 yards and one interception. Marlon Watts recorded a career-high 121 yards receiving on five receptions while Teddy Veal added three catches for 56 yards.

LOUISIANA TECH RICE

RICE STADIUM • HOUSTON, TEXAS

42 28

HOUSTON - Louisiana Tech found itself in familiar territory Saturday afternoon at Rice Stadium. However, this time they wrote a different ending to the script. With the game tied at 28-28 and less than two minutes to play, sophomore quarterback J’Mar Smith led the Bulldogs on an 11-play, 75 yard drive that was capped by a twoyard TD run by Boston Scott for the eventual game winner. LA Tech went on to defeat the Rice Owls, 42-28, on Saturday afternoon in Houston. “There was never any panic,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “We were frustrated that we couldn’t make some adjustments defensively to handle the hand sweep. We didn’t get the ball very much in the second half. I thought they did a really good job of running the ball and controlling the ball in the second half. Those are things we are going to have to look at defensively. “Once we made them more one dimensional late and the running game was gone, the defense stepped up and not only got the ball back but put some points on the board. There were some positives in this game. It wasn’t perfect or ideal with all the injuries we have with both linebackers being out. (Secdrick) Coop(er) ended up moving down and playing a little bit of linebacker today. (Joshua) Outlaw and (Gewhite) Stallworth were both out on the o-line and O’Shea Dugas went out and played some offensive tackle today. I thought some guys stepped up and did some great things. Smith completed some key passes during the drive but his biggest play came by way of a nineyard scramble on third down and eight on the Tech 27-yard line kept the drive alive. Scott capped an impressive day -- 87 yards rushing and three touchdowns -- with a 2-yard touchdown run with exactly one minute to play to give Tech a 35-28 lead. Scott picked up 37 yards on the ground on the final drive, including a 21-yard rush off tackle that put the Bulldogs (4-4, 2-2 C-USA) on the Owls 2-yard line. Despite a solid first two quarters, the Tech defense struggled the entire second half ... until the final 60 seconds. After allowing Rice to score on its first three possessions of the second half, including the game-tying 51-yard TD pass on a fourth down and 13-play with 4:33 remaining, the Bulldogs defense closed the door with a pair of interceptions following Scott’s go-ahead TD. Trey Spencer put the nail in the proverbial coffin with a 36-yard interception return for a TD of a Sam Glaesmann pass with 36 second to play, giving the Bulldogs a 42-28 lead. Darryl Lewis then put the coffin in the ground with his second interception of the season in the Tech end zone with nine seconds remaining. “There were a lot of positive things,” said Holtz. “We came in here and found a way to get a win with a bunch of injuries on this team. Offensively we needed a drive late and we got it; we needed a stop defensively late and we got it. We found a way to finish the game.” As has been the case all season for the Bulldogs, the win didn’t come easy. And for the fifth time in its last six games, the game wasn’t decided until the final minute. But this one belonged to the Bulldogs. Following a pair of tough, emotional losses on the road against UAB and at home against Southern Miss in its last two games, the Bulldogs dug deep to thwart the Rice upset bid. The Owls entered the game as big underdogs sporting a 1-6 record and early on it didn’t look promising as Tech built a 21-7 halftime advantage. Scott scored on a 5-yard run in the first quarter and a six-yard run in the second before McKnight made a diving grab on a 5-yard TD score from Smith late in the half. Rice’s only first half touchdown came on Gaesmann’s 1-yard run midway through the second quarter. However, Rice came out of halftime and went to work on the ground. The Owls drove 67 yards on 11 plays -- all rushing attempts -- to score with 8:43 to play in the third quarter, cutting the Tech advantage to 21-14. The Bulldogs countered as Craft capped a 12-play, 75yard drive with a 4-yard run to push the lead back to 28-14 with 2:03 to play in the third. After a Will Phillips’ 8-yard run early in the fourth pulled the Owls to within 28-21, the Rice defense forced a punt by Tech. The Owls had a chance to tie starting on its own 17. Rice drove to midfield before the Tech defense stood tall, forcing a fourth down and 13 with just over four minutes to play. The Owls went for it and struck gold as Gaesmann hit Aaron Cephus on a deep crossing pattern and Cephus went untouched 51-yards for the tying TD. Rice rushed the ball 27 times for 168 yards in the second half. The momentum was clearly on the Owl’s side. And despite a subpar performance a week ago, Smith did what he has done time after time this season -- he gave the Bulldogs a chance to win. “He played really well,” said Holtz. “There defensive front did a good job when we were struggling with any type of consistency in the running game. We put the ball in J’Mar’s hands and I really thought he made good decisions. He protected the ball. He ran for some critical first downs. He was patient. He saw the field really well. He didn’t turn the ball over. He competed differently from a week ago when he wasn’t playing with that confidence. When he plays with confidence he has a lot of intangible traits that make him a really good quarterback. I thought he played really well today.”

Smith completed 21-of-32 passes for 237 yards and one score, including a career-high 11 for 118 yards to his main man Teddy Veal. Smith also rushed eight times for 27 yards, including the crucial 9-yard scamper on third down early in the game-winning drive. In addition to Scott’s big day on the ground, Craft added 67 yards and one score on 13 carries as Tech rushed for 180 yards on the day. It was Craft’s first rushing TD since the season opener against Northwestern State. Defensively, the Bulldogs recorded a season-high four turnovers, including three interceptions (L’Jarius Sneed recorded his first interception of the season late in the second quarter). Secdrick Cooper led Tech with eight tackles while Amik Robertson added six tackles, including one sack. “It feels like we kind of limped in here,” said Holtz. “Rice is in the same boat with a lot of injuries. The Best thing for this program was not to second guess and over analyze too much with some close losses. We needed to go on the road and find a way to get a win and that’s what we did today.” Score by Quarters Louisiana Tech Rice

NORTH TEXAS LOUISIANA TECH

JOE AILLET STADIUM • RUSTON, LA.

24 23

RUSTON, La. – North Texas running back Jeffrey Wilson scored the go-ahead touchdown with 6:04 to play and Louisiana Tech kicker Jonathan Barnes’ 53-yard field goal attempt with 2:39 to play missed wide left as the Mean Green spoiled the Bulldogs homecoming 24-23 before 18,504 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday afternoon. The loss was the third one-point loss of the season for the Bulldogs and marked the seventh straight game that Louisiana Tech (4-5, 2-3 C-USA) has found itself in a one possession game with four and a half minutes to play in the game. Tech is 3-4 on those games with three one-point losses and one double overtime loss. “To have the lead, it was -- it’s hard,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “I mean, it’s hard, I know, for the players. It’s hard for the coaches. It’s hard for our fans. It’s hard for the alumni, the administration, to watch it all be so close and not be able to get it done.” Tech led 17-10 at the half behind touchdown runs by Boston Scott and J’Mar Smith. In fact the Bulldogs held a 17-7 advantage before North Texas drove 44 yards on six plays over the final 39 seconds of the half to kick a 48-yard field goal and cut it to a one possession game. The Mean Green (6-3, 5-1 C-USA) used that momentum coming out for the second half. After forcing a three-and-out by the Tech offense to start the third quarter, North Texas drove 53 yards on six plays and tied the game at 17-17 on a 22-yard pass from Mason Fine to Rico Bussey. Tech’s second half offensive struggles continued as the Bulldogs mustered only two field goals. A 37-yard boot with 6:50 to play in the third gave Tech a 20-17 lead and then a 35-yarder with 13:35 to play in the fourth quarter upped the Bulldog advantage to 23-17. However, the inability to get into the end zone in the second half came back to haunt Tech. “Defensively, we did so many good things in this game,” said Holtz. “We did so many good things. And we were able to get off the field. But, yeah, it’s frustrating when the games on the line and you’ve got a lead that we’re not able to protect it. It’s also frustrating to have the opportunity as an offense from the 40-yard line, where you’ve got first and 10, and not be able to make a first down or get yourself in a little closer field goal range. The offense had their opportunities in this game. But certainly the offense can’t point their finger at the defense, and the defense had a lead when they stepped onto the field in the fourth quarter. And they couldn’t protect it.” Leading 23-17 in the fourth, the Bulldogs defense forced a North Texas punt. Tech took over on its own 22 yard line with 11:10 to play with an opportunity to push the lead to two possessions. A costly holding penalty on second down put Tech behind the chains and the Bulldogs were eventually forced to punt. “We don’t want to set up field goals,” said Smith. “We knew coming into this game that we had to score points, and the biggest way to score points is scoring touchdowns. Field goals, it can help but it can hurt you at the same time because we score a field goal, they get a touchdown, we’re down. So whenever we get in the red zone we have to put the ball in the end zone. We’ve got to find a way to put the ball in the end zone, run the draw, trick plays, it doesn’t matter.” North Texas capitalized. The Mean Green drove 78 yards on nine plays, including a two-yard run on fourth down and one from its own 31-yard line, as Wilson went untouched into the end zone from 14 yards out to tie the game at 23-23. The extra point gave NT a 2423 lead. “On the road, I almost did it the one before on fourth-and-two,” said North Texas head coach Seth Littrell on the fourth down conversion. “And felt like we could have made it, maybe pinned them deep, have a shot at field position. At that point in the game I just didn’t want them to get the ball back. I felt like that was our time to go. It was kind of a gut call, gut feeling. And it worked out good.” As he has done time after time this season, Smith led the Bulldogs into possession to take the lead. Tech drove to the NT 34-yard line but two incomplete passes into the end zone and a two-yard loss on a Jarred Craft delayed handoff on second down forced Barnes to try the go-ahead FG from 53 yards out. It sailed wide left, giving NT the ball with 2:39 to play. Tech wouldn’t see the ball again as Wilson picked up a pair of first downs on the ground to run out the clock. The Bulldogs rushed for 147 yards in the game, but only 38 came after halftime, as Scott led Tech with 64 yards on 16 carries. Smith completed 16-of-28 passes for 168 yards and no interceptions. Rashid Bonnette caught six passes for 77 yards while Veal added six

catches for 50 yards. Wilson led North Texas with 165 yards and two scores on 20 carries. Fine was 22-of36 for 203 yards and one touchdown and one interception.

FLORIDA ATLANTIC LOUISIANA TECH

JOE AILLET STADIUM • RUSTON, LA.

48 23

RUSTON, La. - Florida Atlantic continued its perfect run through Conference USA play as the Owls defeated Louisiana Tech 48-23 before 16,511 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday afternoon. Despite recording more than 500 yards of total offense on 96 offensive plays and controlling the football for 40 minutes, the Bulldogs (4-6, 2-4 C-USA) couldn’t score red zone touchdowns against FAU (7-3, 6-0 C-USA) and it ultimately cost them. Tech’s struggles in the red zone led to four first half field goal attempts by Jonathan Barnes and put the Bulldogs behind the eight ball in the game and on the scoreboard. “We came in at halftime and had 24 more plays at halftime, and I thought this had the makings to be a really competitive football game, but two things happened in the first half that got us down a little bit,” said Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “We gave up two big plays in man coverage, double pass on one of them, and then we moved the ball well, but again, we sputtered at times. We were just very inconsistent in what we were able to get done (in the red zone).” Sophomore quarterback J’Mar Smith recorded arguably his most complete performance, passing for 326 yards and one touchdown while adding 78 yards rushing on 17 carries. Smith completed 30-of-51 passes despite scrambling much of the day without throwing an interception. It marked only the second time this season that FAU hasn’t recorded at least one interception in a game (the Owls entered the contest leading the country in interceptions). Teddy Veal (6-112, 1 TD), Rashid Bonnette (6-81) and Adrian Hardy (6-76) all had productive days in the Tech passing game, but the Bulldogs couldn’t overcome their inability to produce touchdowns in the first half in the red zone. Tech recorded four double digit play drives (10, 11, 16 and 13) in the opening two quarters with each one stalling inside the FAU 10-yard line. Barnes connected on field goals of 26, 24 and 22 yards while missing a 26-yarder, which accounted for all nine points. Tech trailed 20-9 at the break despite outdoing FAU in first downs (20-10), plays (52-28) and time of possession (22:30 to 7:30). While Tech struggled to score touchdowns, FAU hit paydirt three times in the opening two quarters, including a 77-yard pass from Jason Driskell to Kalib Woods on a double reverse and a 33-yard strike from Driskell to Harrison Bryant on a pump fake on a wide receiver screen that the Bulldog secondary bit on. Devin Singletary added a 3-yard TD run, the first of his three rushing scores on the day. Any chance of a Bulldog comeback was doused in the opening five minutes of the second half. Tech’s special teams were the culprit this time. FAU’s Kerrith Whyte returned the opening kickoff of the third quarter 98 yards for a touchdown to push the lead to 27-9. After Tech failed to pick up a first down on its first possession of the third quarter, a 12-yard punt gave the Owls the football on the Tech 43. It only took FAU seven plays to score as Singletary recorded his second rushing TD of the night. “I hate it because our special teams have played really well,” said Holtz. “Then the punts just really, you’re in the third quarter and it just takes the wind out of your sail when you have a five-yard punt or whatever it was that we had there in the third quarter. It just takes some of the wind out of your sail.” The Bulldogs were able to score a pair of second half touchdowns. Smith hit Veal on a 34-yard strike with 4:21 to play in the third quarter and Boston Scott added a five-yard run with 9:51 to play in the game. Scott rushed for 87 yards on 19 carries in the loss.

LOUISIANA TECH UTEP

SUN BOWL STADIUM • EL PASO, TEXAS

42 21

EL PASO, Texas - Louisiana Tech used a 28-point first half and 343 total rushing yards on the day to propel the Bulldogs to a 42-21 victory over UTEP on Saturday afternoon at Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso. The 21-point victory ended a two-game skid for the Bulldogs as Louisiana Tech moved to 5-6 on the season with a 3-4 record in Conference USA play. The UTEP Miners dropped to 0-11 and 0-7 in league games. Louisiana Tech registered 546 yards of total offense against the Miners, while the Bulldogs had two 100-yard rushers in Jaqwis Dancy (15 carries, 135 yards, 1 TD) and Boston Scott (22 carries, 134 yards). Scott and Dancy also combined for 43 receiving yards in the win. Today’s win marked the most rushing yards by a LA Tech team since the 2013 team against UTEP. The game also marked the first time LA Tech has had two 100-yard rushers in a game since last season against Rice. Quarterback J’Mar Smith was 15-for-28 passing for 203 yards and two touchdown passes, while the sophomore also added for 49 yards on the ground and two rushing touchdowns. Dae’Von Washington was LA Tech’s leading tackler on defense with eight total tackles, while the defense recorded two interceptions on the day with Amik Robertson and DaMarion King both picking off UTEP quarterback Ryan Metz. It was a tough start for the visitors from Ruston after a pair of fumbles by Louisiana Tech’s wide receivers early in the first quarter, but the Bulldogs put together a complete drive thanks to Boston Scott after the senior running back accounted for 55 yards on a 12-play, 80-yard scoring drive that was capped off by his 23-yard touchdown reception with just over a minute to play in the opening period. UTEP threatened to get into the end zone early in the second quarter after driving all the way down to the 14-yard line, but a series of penalties forced the Miners to attempt a 38-yard field goal that sailed wide right to keep it a 7-0 ball game in favor of the Bulldogs. The third fumble of the game came in the second quarter after Dae’Von Washington forced the loose ball while UTEP was in the red zone before Elliot Blankenship had the recovery for the Bulldogs. On the ensuing drive, LA Tech’s Jaqwis Dancy broke loose for a career-long 54-yard rushing touchdown to extend the Bulldogs’ lead to a 14-point advantage midway through the second quarter of play in the Sun City. LA Tech’s defense continued its opportunistic first half on UTEP’s next offensive drive when DaMarion King picked off Ryan Metz and returned his first career interception 71 yards to the house to make it a 21-0 lead for the Bulldogs toward the end of the first half. The Bulldog defense forced UTEP to punt on its next drive to give LA Tech the ball back with two minutes until halftime. LA Tech responded by driving 72 yards on six plays to extend the lead to 28-0 over UTEP at the midway point thanks to a 10-yard rushing touchdown by J’Mar Smith. It took nearly 10 minutes into the third quarter for either team to produce points, but it was the Miners who put together a 14-play drive that lasted nearly seven minutes before an 11-yard rushing touchdown by Joshua Fields cut LA Tech’s lead to 28-7 with 5:33 left in the quarter. LA Tech’s third quarter woes continued on Saturday after UTEP put up another score later in the period on an 83-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Metz to Kalon Beverly to make it a 28-14 game in favor of the Bulldogs. At the start of the fourth quarter, LA Tech’s second half scoring drought ended after the Bulldogs drove 75 yards on the next possession as Smith connected with Teddy Veal in the end zone for a 9-yard touchdown pass to extend the Bulldogs’ lead to 35-14. UTEP continued to put up big numbers offensively in the second half as the Miners needed just four plays and a minute and a half to drive 75 yards for Metz’s 33-yard touchdown pass to Kavika Johnson to make it a 35-21 lead for LA Tech with just under 10 minutes to play in the fourth. Smith capped off the scoring on Saturday by giving the Bulldogs a 42-21 lead over UTEP on a 9-yard rushing touchdown with less than four minutes to go to seal the victory for Louisiana Tech.

UTSA LOUISIANA TECH

JOE AILLET STADIUM • RUSTON, LA.

6 20

RUSTON, La. - In order to get win No. 6 on the season to become bowl eligible, Louisiana Tech turned to No. 6 Boston Scott, who put the Bulldogs on his back on Senior Night, rushing for a career-high 138 yards and a touchdown in LA Tech’s 20-6 victory over UTSA on Saturday night at Joe Aillet Stadium. The victory marked Louisiana Tech’s fourth straight over UTSA as the Bulldogs improved to 6-6 overall on the season and 4-4 in Conference USA play. LA Tech becomes the 10th team in Conference USA to reach bowl eligibility, while the Bulldogs are now bowl eligible for the fourth straight season following Saturday night’s victory. “I really want to see these seniors have an opportunity to go enjoy a bowl game,” head coach Skip Holtz said. “They have worked extremely hard. They have put a lot of time, effort and energy into this program and be a great way to say thank you. But it’s Thanksgiving weekend, there’s so much to be grateful for, so much to be thankful for and I’m excited to have the opportunity to work with these guys.” The Bulldog defense turned in a stellar performance on Saturday night, holding UTSA to a season-low six points and 201 total yards of offense (91 pass, 110 rush), while forcing two turnovers in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. The Roadrunners were held to 50 percent in the red zone with two field goals. “Defensively, oh my gosh, what an incredible effort,” Holtz said. “They got down in there on that goal line and they wouldn’t give in. They just kept banging that rock and really proud of them. (Amik) Robertson came up with a huge interception down there after the one turnover but, defensively, it was our best effort of the year. I mean, statistically, just the togetherness, the energy, the way everybody was into it. “I thought the offensive line did a great job with the running game. They changed some things after the first couple series and made a couple little adjustments but I thought the way Boston Scott ran, tough little son of a gun. He just keeps competing and really proud of what he was able to do tonight on the offensive line. But like I said, I thought the defense was the real hero of this game the way the defense stood up on these goal line stands was huge.” Louisiana Tech entered the fourth quarter with a 10-point lead, but a UTSA field goal made it a one-possession game with just over 12 minutes to play. Jaqwis Dancy returned the ensuing kickoff 53 yards into UTSA territory, but LA Tech could not make anything of the good field position and was forced to punt it back to the Roadrunners. Despite the defense forcing a punt on UTSA’s next drive, Teddy Veal muffed the return, allowing the Roadrunners to regain possession deep inside Bulldog territory at the 15-yard line. From there, momentum began to swing in favor of the Bulldogs. On the first play of the its next drive, UTSA quarterback Dalton Sturm’s pass into the end zone was picked off by LA Tech cornerback Amik Robertson for the true freshman’s fourth interception of his rookie season with seven minutes to play. Needing to drain the clock, the Bulldogs turned to No. 6 once again to close things out. Scott ran the ball six times during the next offensive possession and ate up nearly five minutes off the game clock on his way to a 35-yard rushing touchdown to make it a 20-6 lead for Louisiana Tech. The momentum continued to favor Louisiana Tech after UTSA took back over with 2:23 left on the clock only for the Bulldog defense to create its second turnover of the night, this one an interception by Darryl Lewis that allowed LA Tech to run out the clock and earn its sixth win of the season. Defensively, Louisiana Tech was led by senior Russell Farris, who registered a careerhigh 13 total tackles (5 solo, 8 assists), including two tackles for loss. Jaylon Ferguson had five tackles on the night, three of which went for a loss, including 1.5 sacks on the night. In addition to Scott’s career night, receiver Rhashid Bonnette had four catches for 64 yards. Overall, LA Tech struggled to make much happen in the passing game as quarterback J’Mar Smith was 7-of-21 for 101 yards, including 18 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground. Midway through the first quarter of play, Louisiana Tech’s defense forced an early punt on UTSA’s opening drive of the game, while the Bulldog offense followed that up by driving 80 yards down the field with the help of three penalties by the Roadrunners to take a 7-0 lead on J’Mar Smith’s one-yard quarterback keeper. Jonathan Barnes connected on a 26-yard field goal with 36 seconds left in the first half gave the Bulldogs a 10-0 advantage

at the break. For the second straight game, the Bulldog defense stood tall in the first half and recorded a shutout in the first half of the game, but the strong play continued early in the third quarter. Despite LA Tech throwing an interception on the first drive of the third quarter that gave UTSA the ball inside the red zone, the Bulldog defense held the Roadrunners to a field goal to make it a 10-3 lead for Tech. On LA Tech’s next possession, Barnes saved a drive by drilling a season-long field goal of 53 yards, one shy of his career long, to extend the Bulldogs’ lead to 10 midway through the third quarter of play.

LOUISIANA TECH #25 SMU

TOYOTA STADIUM • FRISCO, TEXAS

51 10

FRISCO, Texas - Louisiana Tech entered its matchup against SMU in the DXL Frisco Bowl as a touchdown underdog as the Mustangs boasted one of the top offenses in the country. The Mustangs met their match Wednesday night at Toyota Stadium. Namely, the Bulldogs defense. LA Tech’s defense forced six turnovers, scored two touchdowns on interception returns and sacked SMU quarterback Ben Hicks four times to lead the Bulldogs to a lopsided 51-10 victory before 14,419 fans. It marked the fourth straight bowl win for Louisiana Tech and left a savory taste in the mouths of Bulldog fans following a regular season that saw its share of sourness. The Bulldog senior class also recorded its 34th win in four years, the most by any LA Tech senior class since the program joined the FBS ranks in 1988. “Turnovers are such a big part of winning and losing,” head coach Skip Holtz said. “You look at this game statistically - Ok, yards, we gained a couple more - but you look at the turnover battle and I think a big part of that [was] J’Mar [Smith] not having any. Offensively, we didn’t have a turnover tonight. And then defensively, what we were able to create. Four sacks, six turnovers. I thought it was a total team effort with the pressure up front and then the guys in coverage. When you look at the weapons they have with two draft-pick receivers and all the weapons that they’ve put up, the whole mindset was keep the ball in front of us, make them snap it again. It was fun to watch those guys run around and play.” Tech scored early and often, building a 21-0 first quarter lead and a 42-10 halftime advantage. In its most complete game of the year, the Bulldogs saw contributions in every phase of the game as the Tech offense amassed 357 yards and the Bulldogs special teams added three field goals by Jonathan Barnes and a 65-yard kickoff return by Jaqwis Dancy. Sophomore quarterback J’Mar Smith was named the offensive player of the game after throwing for 216 yards and three touchdowns. Smith completed 15-of-23 passes and also added a 1-yard rushing TD that gave Tech an early 7-0 lead. Freshman defensive back Amik Robertson earned the Defensive Player of the Game Award. Robertson totaled four tackles, one tackle for loss and returned a first quarter interception 45-yards for a score, upping the Tech lead to 14-0. Robertson and his fellow Bulldog defensive backs held a heralded trio of SMU receivers in check all night long. Trey Quinn, Courtland Sutton and James Proche entered the night with a combined 208 catches for just over 3,000 yards and 30 touchdowns. However, the trio did little damage during the game. Quinn finished with eight catches for 45 yards and one score, Sutton added six catches for 68 yards and Proche was held without a reception. Hicks also had a rough night behind center as he was constantly scrambling for his life. Tech blitzed time after time during the game, forcing Hicks to make quick throws resulting in three interceptions or getting the SMU signal caller to the ground. Hicks completed 19-of-34 passes for a season-low 127 yards and three interceptions. The previous low in passing yards for SMU this season was 218 in a loss to Memphis. The first play of the game was a microcosm of the entire night. After receiving the opening kickoff, SMU running back Xavier Jones fumbled on the first play of the game and Bulldog defensive end Jaylon Ferguson recovered. Tech would stall out on offense and Barnes’ 37-yard field goal attempt missed wide left as SMU dodged the first bullet. It wouldn’t matter. SMU picked up a couple of first downs on the next possession before Secdrick Cooper interception Hicks and returned it 31 yards to the Mustangs 30 yard line. Nine plays later, Smith got into the endzone on a fourth-and-1 QB sneak and Barnes’ extra point made it 7-0. Robertson’s pick six on SMU’s next possession made it 14-0 Tech. SMU’s fourth drive results in a 25-yard field goal by Josh Williams. However, any momentum the Mustangs might have gained on the drive was doused with Dancy took the ensuing kickoff and galloped 65 yards to the SMU 26-yard line. This time it took Tech four plays to cover 26 yards as Smith hit Teddy Veal on a quick pass, and Veal made two SMU defenders look silly on the six-yard TD. Barnes PAT upped the advantage to 21-3 and the route was on. Tech added three more touchdowns in the second quarter. Darryl Lewis returned a Hicks interception 23 yards for a score. Veal then capped an impressive 5-play, 82-yard drive by the Bulldog offense with a 27-yard TD reception from Smith to up the lead to 35-3. Finally Kam McKnight made an acrobatic touchdown reception from 11 yards out following a fumble recovery by Russell Farris that set up the Bulldogs deep in SMU territory. SMU added a 9-yard TD throw from Hicks to Quinn with 15 seconds to play in the second quarter, but the Bulldogs took a comfortable 42-10 lead into the halftime locker room. As impressive as the Tech defense was in the first half, it was even more dominating in the third and fourth quarters. After amassing just over 200 yards of offense in the first half, SMU totaled only 91 yards of total offense on 31 offensive plays in the second half as the

Tech defense kept the Mustangs off the scoreboard. With the lead, the Bulldog offense managed the clock in the second half. Senior running back Boston Scott chewed up yards and time as he finished the game with 110 yards rushing on 20 carries, giving him 1,047 yards for the season. Scott becomes the third Bulldog in the last four years to rush for over 1,000 yards and the 12th all-time. Barnes contributed the only points by either team after halftime, hitting field goals of 28, 43 and 41-yards. The Baton Rouge native finished his Tech career with 462 points, second all-time and first among a host of NFL caliber Bulldog kickers. Veal tied a season-high with 118 yards receiving on five catches and two touchdowns. The 51 points were the most a LA Tech team has ever scored in a bowl game. Tech held SMU to 10 points, the fewest the Mustangs scored this season. Score by Quarters Louisiana Tech SMU

One of the main building blocks of success for a football program is stability in the coaching staff, and for 40 years, Louisiana Tech had not only stability but incredible talent. Joe Aillet remains the winningest football coach in Louisiana Tech history and was one of the most respected in the country during his 26-year coaching career with the Bulldogs. Aillet produced a record of 152-86-8 and won or shared 12 conference championships between 1940 and 1966. He served as Tech’s athletic director for an additional four years. A member of several national coaching halls of fame, Aillet was instrumental in forming the Louisiana High School Coaches Association in the 1930s and the Gulf States Conference in 1948. Maxie Lambright replaced Aillet in 1967 and remained at Tech through 1978, producing a “Golden Era” of Bulldog football which included seven conference titles, three national championship seasons and two Division I bowl games. He produced 11 All-Americans and sent a dozen Bulldogs into the pros. He also built the nation’s longest college football winning streak at 23 games during 1973 and 1974.

Another building block at Louisiana Tech was Maxie Lambright. Lambright coached the 1972 Bulldogs to a 12-0 record as Louisiana Tech won the National Football Foundation national title with a 35-0 win over Tennessee Tech in the Grantland Rice Bowl. The following season, Lambright’s Bulldogs claimed the Division II national title defeating Western Kentucky 34-0 in the championship game. During his 12 years on the Tech sideline, Lambright amassed a mark of 95-36-2 while winning seven conference titles.

EVER LOYAL BE BULLDOG HISTORY The names ring like a Who’s Who in the National Football League: Terry Bradshaw, Pat Tilley, Roger Carr, Mike Barber, Fred Dean, Matt Stover, Willie Roaf, Doug Evans, Tim Rattay and Troy Edwards. They are just a few of the many great players who have donned a Louisiana Tech Bulldog uniform over the past century, and their accomplishments at Tech are even more impressive. Starting with its very first game in 1901, Louisiana Tech has become a household name in collegiate football circles. And over the years Louisiana Tech has produced numerous conference titles, numerous all-American honors, numerous professional players and two national championship titles. This year’s players and coaches should only add to an already impressive resume. Although so much emphasis is placed on the present, with 108 seasons of Tech football in the record books, it’s important to remember so many great moments, so many great players and so many great coaches that have already made Tech’s history on the gridiron successful. From the very first team to last season’s squad, Tech football can be described with three words: TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE.

1901-1909 Record: 20-13-4 (.541) Coaches: Edwin Barber (1901); Frank Singleton (1902); Unknown (1903); E.G. Pierce (1904); J.Y. Bragg (1905); Z.T. Young (1906); George Watkins (1907); A.L. Cornell (1908); Percy Prince (1909) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: N/A 1901: First Recorded Intercollegiate Football Game Louisiana Tech intercollegiate football history began with that 1901 season, as Edwin Barber — the first athletic coach employed by the young university — led the Bulldogs on the playing field. And although records of some of the first years in Tech history are incomplete, Barber’s team lost the only two games for which results do exist, falling to Louisiana State 57-0 and Arkansas 16-0. However, the Tech tradition had begun. The November 1902 Industrialist, the first student publication at Tech, reported that Coach Frank Singleton led the second team to “a fairly successful season,” although the record of that Bulldog squad is not known. 1904: First Recorded Intercollegiate Football Win Coach E.G. Pierce led the 1904 Bulldogs to the first recorded win in school history with a 6-0 victory against Louisiana State during a 1-3 season. The game not only marked the inaugural win in Tech history, but also the first shutout. Tech’s first winning season was posted in 1906 as Z.T. Young led the Bulldogs to a 2-1-3 record with wins over Ouachita Baptist and the Ruston Athletic Club. The following season, Coach George Watkins and the Bulldogs registered a 9-1 mark, which is still the most wins by a first-year head coach in Tech history. During that season, Tech outscored its opponents 248-37, with the lone setback coming against Louisiana State. It is not known where those first Bulldogs played their games, but beginning with the 1904 season, all Tech athletic events were held in an athletic park, with a grandstand, located next to Harper Hall and presentday Howard Auditorium.

1910-1919 Record: 24-22-5 (.471) Coaches: Percy Prince (1910-1915); A. Flack (1916); V.S.

Prince was the first coach at Tech to coach for multiple seasons, finishing his career with a record of 24-16-5. His 1911 and 1915 teams also posted winning records, recording marks of 4-2-1 and 3-1-2, respectively. 1916: First Recorded Game at Independence Stadium In 1916, Coach A. Flack took over for Prince, but the Bulldogs struggled, going 2-4 with wins over Ouachita and Northwestern State. V.S. Pugh took over the coaching duties in 1917 and led Tech to a 2-3 season. However, Prince came back and coached Tech for one last season in 1919 as Tech lost to Henderson State and Northwestern State in the only two recorded games.

Six different coaches led the Bulldogs of the 1920s as Tech posted a winning mark of 38-34-8 during the decade. Coach R.F. Clark helped start the 1920s right for Tech fans as his two Bulldog teams registered winning records of 5-1 and 6-0 in1920 and 1921. After Clark’s 1920 team lost the first game of the season 12-0 to Northwestern State, he proceeded to win 11 consecutive contests over the span of the next two years. William Dietz picked up where Clark left off in 1922 and 1923 as the Dietz-led Bulldogs posted records of 5-1-1 and 6-2, including a 100-0 win over Clark College in 1922 and a 66-7 victory over Northwestern State in 1923. After struggling through a 1-6-1 season in 1924 under Coach Phillip Arbuckle, Tech began its first athletic affiliation, becoming a member of the multi-state Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1925 under Coach R.C. Kenney. Hugh Wilson coached the Bulldogs to a 5-2-2 record in 1926 and a 3-5 mark in 1927, a year that was highlighted by a game played against Mississippi College at Forsythe Park, the first intercollegiate football game played in Monroe. 1928: New Football Field Built Then, in the fall of 1928, a new Tech athletic field was built immediately adjoining the men’s gymnasium on the current site of A.E. Phillips Laboratory School. The field was dedicated on Homecoming day Nov. 5, before the game with UL-Lafayette (UL-Lafayette won 45-6).

1940: Joe Aillet Era Begins It is no coincidence that the first 10 years of Joe Aillet’s tenure as football coach at Tech was one of the winningest decades percentage-wise in Bulldog history. 1948: Tech joins Gulf States Conference; Gulf State Championship Aillet, who is still the school’s winningest coach with 152 wins, took over in 1940 and promptly led the Bulldogs to four conference titles during the decade, three as a member of the Louisiana Collegiate Conference and one as a member of the Gulf States Conference which Tech joined in 1948. Aillet, who was instrumental in forming the GSC, was the first president of the league. Tech also posted eight winning seasons during the nine years of football in the ‘40s (football was discontinued during 1943). Aillet, who is a member of the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame as well as being a charter member of the Tech Athletic Hall of Fame, led Tech to a 6-4 record in 1940 before guiding the Bulldogs to the school’s first conference title in 1941 with a mark of 5-4-1. Tech also won the LCC title in 1945 (6-4) and 1947 (5-4), while capturing the GSC title in 1948 (7-2-1) and 1949 (7-2). A number of All-Americans led the Bulldogs during the 1940s, including the likes of Jimmy Harrison (1949), Garland Gregory (1941), Mike Reed (1946, 1947) and Ed Stassi (1948).

1930-1939 Record: 47-42-4 (.505) Coaches: George Bohler (1930-1933); L.P McLane (1934-1938); Ray Davis (1939) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (1930-1938)/None; Louisiana IntercollegiateConference (1939)/None The nickname Bulldogs and school colors of red and blue were decided upon sometime during the early years of the university. However, T.J. “Cotton” and Henry Matthews, two Tech freshman brothers from Bossier City, donated Tech’s first live bulldog in 1930. On the playing field, Coach George Bohler led Tech into the 1930s as the Bulldogs posted a 3-6 season in 1930 before rebounding to record the school’s third perfect season at 7-0 in 1931. 1935: 5,000 Seat Football Stadium Built In 1934, according to The Tech Talk, the Louisiana Legislature appropriated $25,000 for a concrete stadium to be built beginning in January 1935. The stadium seated 3,000, and wooden bleachers holding an additional 2,000 were built on the east side of the field. Again, Tech — under the guidance of Coach L.P. McLane — and ULLafayette dedicated the facility as Tech won the game 25-0 on its way to an 8-1 season. It also marked the first night game played at Louisiana Tech. 1937: Johnny Wyss Named Tech’s First All-American The 1937 season brought two more firsts for Louisiana Tech football as the school’s first sellout came Sept. 17, 1937, in the season opener against Oklahoma City. Following a 6-3-2 season, Bulldog guard Johnny Wyss was named Tech’s first All-American. The 1939 season brought with it a new coach and a new conference as Ray Davis took over the Bulldog coaching duties, guiding Tech to a 5-6 mark in the school’s first year as a member of the Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference.

Amazingly, Joe Aillet’s second decade as the Bulldogs’ head coach was more successful as his teams won an incredible 70 percent of their games during the 1950s while claiming six Gulf States Conference titles. Tech registered 10 winning seasons during the 1950s, never losing more than four games in a year. Tech captured its first GSC title of the decade during 1952, when the Bulldogs went 6-1-2, including wins over Florida State and Memphis State. Aillet also led Tech to Gulf States titles in 1953 (6-3), 1955 (9-1), 1957 (6-4), 1958 (7-3) and 1959 (9-1). During the era, Tech had 33 players earn All-Gulf States Conference honors including the family foursome of Tommy (three times), Pat (twice), Bobby and Joe Hinton (twice). Nine of Aillet’s players were named All-American during the 1950s, including Charles Anderson, Gordon Brown, Joe Hinton, Pat Hinton, Tommy Hinton, Jerry Hudson, Russell Rainbolt, Leo Sanford and Jess Storts.

1960-1969 Record: 57-38 (.600) Coaches: Joe Aillet (1960-1966); Maxie Lambright (1967-1969) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Gulf States Conference(1960-1969)/ 1960, 1964, 1969 The 1960s saw plenty of change for Louisiana Tech late in the decade. However, early on it was the same old winning ways for Joe Aillet and his Bulldogs as Tech opened the era with yet another Gulf States Conference title and an 8-2 record. After recording marks of 5-4, 4-4 and 6-3 over the next three seasons, the Bulldogs captured another GSC title in 1964 with a 9-1 record. A 14-7 loss at the hands of Southern Mississippi kept the Bulldogs from obtaining the perfect record. Following another 4-4 season in 1965, the change began. Aillet’s 1966 squad, his last at Tech, fell to 1-9, breaking a streak of 21 consecutive years of non-losing seasons under the Tech legend. Aillet’s 26-year tenure as the Bulldogs head coach was over after 152 wins and 12 conference titles. 1967: Maxie Lambright Era Begins In 1967, Tech hired Maxie Lambright to take over the duties and after posting a 3-7 record in his first season, the Bulldogs resumed their winning ways in 1968 with a 9-2 record, thanks in large part to a young quarterback named Terry Bradshaw. 1968: First Game played in Joe Aillet Stadium During the 1968 season, the Bulldogs also moved into a new home, the 23,000-seat present-day facility named Tech Stadium, which was renamed Joe Aillet Stadium on Nov. 11, 1972, in memory of the Tech coach who had passed away the previous year. Lambright, Bradshaw and the Bulldogs ended the decade claiming the 1969 Gulf States Conference title with an 8-2 mark, the school’s last GSC championship. Forty-eight Bulldogs earned All-Gulf States Conference honors during the 1960s, while Bradshaw, Tom Causey, Jerry Griffin, Joe Hinton, John Williamson, and Mickey Slaughter all earned All-American honors. 1969: Grantland Rice Bowl Appearance Bradshaw was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft following his 1969 senior year.

It could easily be said that the 1970s was the premier decade in the long history of Louisiana Tech football. 1971: Pioneer Bowl Appearance After opening the era with a 2-8 mark in 1970, Lambright guided the Bulldogs to a 9-2 record and a conference title in 1971, Tech’s first season as a member of the newly formed Southland Conference. However, that was just the beginning. 1972: Grantland Rice Bowl Appearance The next three seasons are considered the greatest three-year stretch in Tech football history. Lambright led the 1972 team to a perfect 12-0 record, and the Bulldogs defeated Tennessee Tech 35-0 in the Grantland Rice Bowl to claim Co-National Champion honors along with Delaware as chosen by the National Football Foundation. 1973: Camellia Bowl Appearance The 1973 team would not be outdone, as Lambright and the Bulldogs finished the season 12-1 and defeated Western Kentucky 34-0 in the Division II National Championship game in Sacramento, Calif. 1974: Pioneer Bowl Appearance Finally, the 1974 team made it three in a row by winning the United Press International College Division National Championship despite losing to Central Michigan, 35-14, in a Division II national semifinal game. 1977: Independence Bowl Appearance The following season, Tech joined the Division I ranks for the first time, and two years later, the Bulldogs played in their first bowl game, defeating highly favored Louisville, 24-14, in the Independence Bowl in Shreveport. 1978: Independence Bowl Appearance Tech made a return trip to the Independence Bowl in 1978 but was defeated by East Carolina, 35-13. The loss marked the end of another era at Tech, as Maxie Lambright retired from his 12-year coaching career with a 95-36-2 record, trailing only Aillet in number of victories as Tech football coach. Larry Beightol was hired in 1979 and led Tech to a 3-8 record in his only season as the Bulldogs’ head coach. With the success Tech had during the 1970s, it is no wonder the Bulldogs had 66 players earn all-conference accolades, while the likes of Ron Alexander, Larry Anderson, Mike Barber, Roger Carr, Fred Dean, Ken Lantrip, Ardis McCann, Charles McDaniel, Joe McNeely, Chris Richardson and Billy Ryckman earned All-American honors.

1980-1989 Record: 59-53-3 (.513) Coaches: Billy Brewer (1980-1982); A.L. Williams (19831986); Carl Torbush (1987); Joe Raymond Peace (1988-1989) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Southland (1980-1986)/1982, 1984 The 1980s proved to be a turning point for Louisiana Tech football as the university made the decision to move up to Division I-A status starting in 1989. However, the ‘80s started slowly with two straight losing seasons under new head coach Billy Brewer (5-6 in 1980 and 4-6-1 in 1981). However, Brewer’s third and last season was much more successful as the Bulldogs posted a 10-3 record and won the Southland Conference title in 1982, after being reclassified into Division I-AA.

EVER LOYAL BE The Bulldogs, led by quarterback Matt Dunigan, won their first-round playoff game before falling to Delaware 17-0 on a rainsoaked afternoon at Joe Aillet Stadium. A.L. Williams took over the coaching reins in 1983 and after a sub-par first year (4-7), Williams guided Tech to the Division I-AA National Championship game in 1984. After winning the Southland Conference title, Tech defeated Mississippi Valley State and Jerry Rice, No. 1 Alcorn State and Middle Tennessee before losing to Montana State 19-6 in Charleston, S.C., in the national championship game. 1987: Tech begins its move to I-A Tech played in the Southland Conference for the final time during the 1986 season as university President F. Jay Taylor’s goal was to leave what he called “mandated mediocrity” — Division I-AA. The Bulldogs competed as a Division I-AA independent in 1987 and 1988 during the “Movin’ Up” campaign. During those two seasons, the Bulldogs fought an uphill battle, playing road games against the likes of Baylor, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Houston, Wyoming, Kansas State, Southern Mississippi and Florida State in an effort to meet Division I-A scheduling requirements. Another 6,000 seats were added to Joe Aillet Stadium as part of meeting those same requirements to move up to the next level. 1989: Tech gains I-A status Finally on Jan. 20, 1989, the call came from the NCAA, and at the football banquet that evening, the official acceptance into Division I-A football was announced by Tech President Dan Reneau. Tech officially began competing in the NCAA’s highest classification with the 1989 season opener at UL-Lafayette, a contest the Bulldogs won 40-14 on their way to a 5-4-1 record. On Oct. 4, 1989, the Spirit of 1988, a bronze Bulldog statue guarding the south entrance to Aillet Stadium, was unveiled to commemorate head coach Joe Raymond Peace’s Tech team of 1988, which endured the brutal schedule in order to meet Division I-A scheduling requirements.

Louisiana Tech finished its last season as a Division I-A Independent in 2000 with a 3-9 record. During the season, the Bulldogs played perennial powers such as Kansas State, Penn State, Auburn and Miami. Despite playing a difficult schedule, the Bulldogs were still one of the top offensive teams in the country, finishing 7th in the nation for passing offense.

1990: Independence Bowl Appearance Louisiana Tech football opened and closed the 1990s with a bang as the 1990 Bulldog team earned an Independence Bowl berth while the 1999 team earned the school’s first ever Associated Press Top 25 ranking. The 1990s also proved to be the decade for quarterbacks at Tech as the program produced two of the top signal callers in Bulldog history in Jason Martin and Tim Rattay. Coach Joe Raymond Peace led the 1990 Bulldogs, in only the school’s second year as Division I-A Independent, to an 8-3 record during the regular season and an invitation to the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La. The Bulldogs tied Maryland 34-34 in front of over 48,000 fans in one of the most exciting bowl games of the year. 1993: Tech joins Big West Conference The following season, the Peace-led Bulldogs dropped the opening game and then proceeded to win eight and tie two the rest of the year. After a 5-6 season in 1992, Tech joined the Big West Conference in an effort to help scheduling and secure a bowl tie. However, the Bulldogs’ three seasons in the conference never yielded much success as Peace’s squads compiled a 10-23 mark from 1993-1995. The 1996 season saw a number of changes and much more success as Tech once again joined the ranks of Division I-A Independents and offensive coordinator Gary Crowton was hired as head coach. Crowton, who was known for his great offensive mind and wide-open passing attack, molded quarterbacks Jason Martin and Tim Rattay into two of the nation’s total offense leaders. In 1996, Crowton guided Tech to a 6-5 season, including a 38-23 win at Southeastern Conference foe Mississippi State, while Martin had 3,360 yards and 32 touchdowns. It was just a sign of things to come. The following season, Tech posted a 9-2 mark with wins at Alabama and against California, while sophomore quarterback Tim Rattay led the nation in total offense, passing for 3,881 yards and 34 touchdowns. Rattay shattered his Tech records the following season, passing for 4,943 yards and 46 scores while leading the Bulldogs to a 6-6 record. Rattay’s main target was wide receiver Troy Edwards, who caught 140 passes for 1,996 yards and 27 touchdowns, the latter two marks setting new NCAA records. In a nationally televised game against defending National Champion Nebraska to open the season, Rattay and Edwards showed a preview of what Tech fans had to look forward to as Rattay passed for a school record 590 yards, while Edwards snared 21 passes for 405 yards, a new NCAA single game record. After Crowton departed to the NFL’s Chicago Bears in 1999, Tech Athletics Director Jim Oakes hired Jack Bicknell III as the 30th head coach in school history. Bicknell led Tech to an 8-3 season, a 29-28 upset victory over eventual Southeastern Conference champion Alabama and the school’s first Associated Press Top 25 ranking. Rattay finished his career ranked No. 2 in NCAA history in career passing yards, total offense and touchdown passes. The 1999 season was made even more successful with an October announcement that the university would be making an allsports move to the Western Athletic Conference in the fall of 2001. During the decade of the ’90s, 54 Bulldog players earned all-conference honors, while Josh Bradley, Edwards, Marty Kent, Rattay,William Roaf, Bobby Slaughter and Willie Smith were named All-Americans.

2000-2009

2018 BULLDOG FOOTBALL

2001: Tech joins Western Athletic Conference; Humanitarian Bowl Appearance The Bulldogs made a splash in their new conference by going 7-1 in league play and claiming the 2001 WAC Championship. Louisiana Tech overcame an early conference loss to win its last six conference games to take the WAC title. The championship earned the Bulldogs a berth in the 2001 Humanitarian Bowl, the school’s first bowl appearance since the 1990 Independence Bowl. Despite a 49-24 loss to Clemson in the Humanitarian Bowl, the season was still a success and proved that Louisiana Tech would be a foe to be reckoned within the Western Athletic Conference. Tech began the 2002 season by defeating eventual Houston Bowl participant and Big 12 foe Oklahoma State to open the season in a thrilling last minute 39-36 contest. However, Tech’s early non-conference schedule proved brutal with road losses to Clemson, No. 15 Penn State and No. 24 Texas A&M. For the seventh straight season the Bulldogs ranked in the nation’s top 10 in passing offense while senior running back Joe Smith earned first team All-WAC honors, becoming the first Tech player since 1994 to rush for over 1,000 yards. The 2003 season started with a nationally televised home contest against defending national champion Miami at Independence Stadium in Shreveport as a Bulldog home record crowd of 43,279 witnessed the historic event. And although the 2003 season didn’t go as planned with Tech finishing 5-7, the Bulldogs did have plenty of bright moments topped by Tech’s 20-19 come-from-behind road win over Michigan State, a team that went on to earn a Top 25 ranking and eventually earned a spot in the Alamo Bowl against Nebraska. Individual highlights included senior kicker Josh Scobee becoming Louisiana Tech’s second all-time scoring leader with 339 points. Senior quarterback Luke McCown finished his career ranked in the top 5 in NCAA Division I history in passing yards and total offense. 2004: Tech faces Top 25 schedule; Pulls upset over Fresno State Tough wouldn’t describe Louisiana Tech’s schedule in 2004 as the Bulldogs played seven games against eventual bowl-bound teams and six games against teams ranked in the Top 25 at one point of the season. And although Tech’s 6-6 record fell one game short of being bowl eligible, it was still an accomplishment. The biggest moment of 2004 came in Tech’s 28-21 win over No. 17 ranked Fresno State Oct. 2 at Joe Aillet Stadium. Running back Ryan Moats rushed for 236 yards and four scores and the Tech defense intercepted two passes late in the game to seal the victory. Moats shattered the school record with 1,774 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns before declaring himself eligible for the 2005 NFL Draft (third round, Philadelphia Eagles). 2008: Bulldogs Claim Independence Bowl Championship Title Louisiana Tech opened its season with a visit from Southeastern Conference foe Mississippi State, the first SEC team to ever come to Joe Aillet Stadium. And after the Mississippi-based Bulldogs left after a 22-14 LA Tech win, they might be the last for a while. The win marked the first win over an SEC team since 1999 when Tech topped eventual SEC champion Alabama

EVER LOYAL BE 29-28 in Birmingham, Alabama. The Bulldogs continued their winning ways throughout the season, going 7-5 in the regular season and 5-3 in the WAC which was good enough for a second place finish. Included in the seven regular season wins was a 21-0 shutout victory at San Jose State, the first shutout by a Tech team since 1996 and the first road shutout since 1988. Tech earned its first invite to a bowl game since 2001 as the Bulldogs received an invitation to play in the Independence Bowl against Northern Illinois. Tech would capture the 2008 Independence Bowl title by virtue of a 17-10 victory over the Huskies, highlighted by a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Phillip Livas. The Bowl victory was the first bowl win for the Bulldogs since they won the 1977 Independence Bowl. Running back Daniel Porter became the eighth Louisiana Tech running back to ever rush for over 1,000 yards in a season as he rushed for 1,164 yards and nine touchdowns in 2008. Tech also placed a program record seven players on the All- WAC team, led by first team members in Porter, Livas, defensive tackle D’Anthony Smith and safety Antonio Baker. In 2009 Porter continued to showcase his rushing talents, becoming the school’s all-time leading rusher with 3,352 rushing yards to his credit while Dennis Morris earned all-America honors and was named the College Football Performance Awards’ National Tight End of the Year after leading the country in touchdown receptions among tight ends.

2010-PRESENT

Record: 44-32 (.579) Coaches: Sonny Dykes (2010-2012), Skip Holtz (2013-Present) Conference Affiliation (Years)/Titles: Division I-A/FBS Western Athletic Conference (2010-2012/One (2011); Conference USA (2013-Present)/C-USA West Division (2014) Louisiana Tech began the Sonny Dykes era with high hopes for a high octane offense. The engine finally shifted gears midway through Dykes first season with a high offensive output in six of the team’s last seven games, including 683 total offensive yards against Idaho, then the fourthmost in school history. The 2011 season had an ominous 1-4 start (losing the season opener in the midst of Tropical Storm Lee in Hattiesburg) but the team rallied off seven-consecutive wins – the most since 1974 – and finished the year winning the WAC title. Tech came within a possession of upsetting No. 15 TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl game to close the season. Sonny Dykes was named the WAC Coach of the Year, Adrien Cole was named the WAC Defensive Player of the Year and was one of 11 All-WAC honorees and the Bulldogs stunned the country in the midst of its winning streak with a 27-7 throttling of Ole Miss. Louisiana Tech’s 2012 season was a year marked by national attention and record-shattering performances as the team finished the year ranked No. 1 in the nation in total offense, scoring and net punting while Freshman All-American Kenneth Dixon broke three of Marshall Faulk’s NCAA Freshman records. Punter Ryan Allen became the first punter to win backto-back Ray Guy Awards and quarterback Colby Cameron won the 2012 Sammy Baugh Award. Tech reached as high as No. 18 in the rankings and finished the year 9-3 but, in its final season in the WAC, was left out of the postseason as the league only had one bowl tie-in and three bowl eligible teams. In early December Sonny Dykes left Tech for Cal and the Bulldogs hired Skip Holtz to become the program’s 33rd head coach and to guide the program into Conference USA. In the program’s second year as a member of Conference USA, Skip Holtz guided the Bulldogs to a C-USA West Division title and an appearance in the C-USA Championship game while moving on to the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl where Tech registered a 35-18 win over Illinois. With one of the most prolific offenses in school history, the 2015 team won the R+L New Orleans Bowl with a dominating 47-28 win over Arkansas State as running back Kenneth Dixon registered a short-lived NCAA record 87 career touchdowns (topped one week later by Navy’s Keenan Reynolds). Dixon, quarterback Jeff Driskel and defensive tackle Vernon Butler all went in the 2016 NFL Draft.

EVER LOYAL BE 2017 DXL FRISCO BOWL

LOUISIANA TECH #25 SMU

51 10

DEC. 20 • TOYOTA STADIUM • FRISCO, TEXAS

FRISCO, Texas - Louisiana Tech entered its matchup against SMU in the DXL Frisco Bowl as a touchdown underdog as the Mustangs boasted one of the top offenses in the country. The Mustangs met their match Wednesday night at Toyota Stadium. Namely, the Bulldogs defense. Louisiana Tech’s defense forced six turnovers, scored two touchdowns on interception returns and sacked SMU quarterback Ben Hicks four times to lead the Bulldogs to a lopsided 51-10 victory before 14,419 fans. It marked the fourth straight bowl win for Louisiana Tech and left a savory taste in the mouths of Bulldog fans following a regular season that saw its share of sourness. The Bulldog senior class also recorded its 34th win in four years, the most by any LA Tech senior class since the program joined the FBS ranks in 1988. “Turnovers are such a big part of winning and losing,” head coach Skip Holtz said. “You look at this game statistically - Ok, yards, we gained a couple more - but you look at the turnover battle and I think a big part of that [was] J’Mar [Smith] not having any. Offensively, we didn’t have a turnover tonight. And then defensively, what we were able to create. Four sacks, six turnovers. I thought it was a total team effort with the pressure up front and then the guys in coverage. When you look at the weapons they have with two draft-pick receivers and all the weapons that they’ve put up, the whole mindset was keep the ball in front of us, make them snap it again. It was fun to watch those guys run around and play.” Tech scored early and Tech scored often, building a 21-0 first quarter lead and a 42-10 halftime advantage. In its most complete game of the year, the Bulldogs saw contributions in every phase of the game as the Tech offense amassed 357 yards and the Bulldogs special teams added three field goals by Jonathan Barnes and a 65-yard kickoff return by Jaqwis Dancy in the first quarter. Sophomore quarterback J’Mar Smith was named the offensive player of the game after throwing for 216 yards and three touchdowns. Smith completed 15-of-23 passes and also added a 1-yard rushing TD that gave Tech an early 7-0 lead. Freshman defensive back Amik Robertson earned the Defensive Player of the Game Award. Robertson totaled four tackles, one tackle for loss and returned a first quarter interception 45-yards for a score, upping the Tech lead to 14-0. Robertson and his fellow Bulldog defensive backs held a heralded trio of SMU receivers in check all night long. Trey Quinn, Courtland Sutton and James Proche entered the night with a combined 208 catches for just over 3,000 yards and 30 touchdowns. However, the trio did little damage during the game. Quinn finished with eight catches for 45 yards and one score, Sutton added six catches for 68 yards and Proche was held without a reception. Hicks also had a rough night behind center as he was constantly scrambling for his life. Tech blitzed time after time during the game, forcing Hicks to make quick throws resulting in three interceptions or getting the SMU signal caller to the ground. Hicks completed 19-of34 passes for a season-low 127 yards and three interceptions. The previous low in passing yards for SMU this season was 218 in a loss to Memphis. The first play of the game was a microcosm of the entire night. After receiving the opening kickoff, SMU running back Xavier Jones fumbled on the first play of the game and Bulldog defensive end Jaylon Ferguson recovered. Tech would stall out on offense and Barnes’ 37-yard field goal attempt missed wide left as SMU dodged the first bullet. It wouldn’t matter. SMU picked up a couple of first downs on the next possession before Scedrick Cooper interception Hicks and returned it 31 yards to the Mustangs 30 yard line. Nine plays later, Smith got into the endzone on a fourth down and 1 quarterback sneak and Barnes’ extra point made it 7-0. Robertson’s pick six on SMU’s next possession made it 14-0 Tech. SMU’s fourth drive results in a 25-yard field goal by Josh Williams. However, any momentum the Mustangs might have gained on the drive was doused with Dancy took the ensuing kickoff and galloped 65 yards to the SMU 26-yard line. This time it took Tech four plays to cover 26 yards as Smith hit Teddy Veal on a quick pass, and Veal made two SMU defenders look silly on the six-yard TD. Barnes PAT upped the advantage to 21-3 and the route was on. Tech added three more touchdowns in the second quarter. Darryl Lewis returned a Hicks interception 23 yards for a score. Veal then capped an impressive 5-play, 82-yard drive by the Bulldog offense with a 27-yard TD reception from Smith to up the lead to 35-3. Finally Kam McKnight made an acrobatic touchdown reception from 11 yards out following a fumble recovery by Russell Farris that set up the Bulldogs deep in SMU territory. SMU added a 9-yard TD throw and catch from Hicks to Quinn with 15 seconds to

play in the second quarter, but the Bulldogs took a comfortable 42-10 lead into the halftime locker room. As impressive as the Tech defense was in the first half, it was even more dominating in the third and fourth quarters. After amassing just over 200 yards of offense in the first half, SMU totaled only 91 yards of total offense on 31 offensive plays in the second half as the Tech defense kept the Mustangs off the scoreboard. With the lead, the Bulldog offense managed the clock in the second half. Senior running back Boston Scott chewed up yards and time as he finished the game with 110 yards rushing on 20 carries, giving him 1,047 yards for the season. Scott becomes the third Bulldog in the last four years to rush for over 1,000 yards and the 12th all-time. Barnes contributed the only points by either team after halftime, hitting field goals of 28, 43 and 41-yards. The Baton Rouge native finished his Tech career with 462 points, second all-time and first among a host of NFL caliber Bulldog kickers. Veal tied a season-high with 118 yards receiving on five catches and two touchdowns. The 51 points were the most a LA Tech team has ever scored in a bowl game. Tech held SMU to 10 points, the fewest the Mustangs scored this season (the previous low was 22 against Houston). Score by Quarters Louisiana Tech #25 SMU

EVER LOYAL BE 2016 LOCKHEED MARTIN ARMED FORCES BOWL

LOUISIANA TECH #25 NAVY

48 45

DEC. 23 • AMON G. CARTER STADIUM • FORT WORTH, TEXAS

FORT WORTH, Texas - Jonathan Barnes’ 32-yard field goal as time expired to give Louisiana Tech the storybook ending it deserved and clinched the Bulldogs’ third consecutive bowl championship over No. 25 Navy Friday in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. Tied 45-45 with under four minutes to play, the junior kicker’s game-winning field goal capped off a wild back-and-forth affair between the Bulldogs and Midshipmen that ended up coming down to the final three seconds in the fourth quarter. With the win, Louisiana Tech recorded its third straight 9-win season to end the 2016 campaign 9-5 overall. Navy fell to 9-5 on the year in the loss. The two teams combined for nearly 1,000 yards Friday night in Fort Worth with the Bulldogs edging the Midshipmen with 497 yards of total offense. “To come in here and beat a No. 25 team like Navy is big for our program,” head coach Skip Holtz said. “It took us a while to get going offensively, and we had some sacks early, but Jarred Craft got our running game going and opened up the pass. This was a tremendous win, and everyone contributed. I’m proud of this team, and that was a really clutch kick to win it by Jonathan (Barnes) to get the win.” Ryan Higgins set new bowl records for completions as the senior ended the night 29-of-40 passing for 409 yards and four touchdowns through the air. Trent Taylor earned Armed Forces Bowl MVP honors with 12 receptions for 233 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The senior receiver broke bowl records for receptions and receiving yards in a game on his way to leading LA Tech to a third straight bowl title. In what ended up being the quickest start to a game in the history of the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl, Louisiana Tech’s Carlos Henderson showed off his speed against No. 25 Navy on an 82-yard return on the opening kickoff and the Bulldogs never slowed down from that point. Henderson’s shifty return set up Ryan Higgins’ quarterback keeper for a 7-0 lead for the Bulldogs in what became the fastest touchdown scored in bowl history less than 90 seconds into the game. Henderson ended the night with 266 all-purpose yards with 129 receiving, 137 kick return yards and two touchdown receptions in the victory. On Navy’s first offensive possession, the Midshipmen gave Louisiana Tech an early Christmas gift by fumbling the football, which was recovered by Prince Sam to set up Jonathan Barnes’ 22-yard field goal to extend LA Tech’s lead to 10. Midway through the first, the Midshipmen settled in and forced a LA Tech punt, which set up an 8-play, 55-yard drive by Navy to cut the lead the three with a 3-yard rushing touchdown by quarterback Zach Abey. The Bulldogs responded on the next drive when Higgins had a hand in the second touchdown of the day for LA Tech with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Trent Taylor to put Tech up 17-7 over Navy with just 18 seconds left in the first quarter. Navy had an answer on the first play of the second quarter as Abey completed a 64yard touchdown pass to Darryl Bonner to cut the Midshipmen’s deficit to 17-14. The Midshipmen took their first lead of the game on the next drive thanks to Abey’s efforts on the ground after a 30-yard rush, facemask penalty against the Bulldogs and then a 2-yard quarterback keeper gave Navy a 21-17 lead over LA Tech in the second. Later in the first half, the Bulldog offense got its groove back a little bit with a 9-play, 65-yard drive that led to a 3-yard touchdown reception by Henderson to retake the lead over Navy, 24-21, midway through the second quarter of play. After Navy tied it up at 24-24 thanks to a career-long 40-yard field goal by Barrett Moehring, Louisiana Tech answered with a 51-yard touchdown pass from Higgins to Taylor to send the Bulldogs into halftime with a 31-24 lead over the Midshipmen. Navy opened the second half with a 14-play drive that took more than seven minutes off the clock and spanned 90 yards before knotting the game at 31-31 with a 24-yard rushing touchdown by Chris High. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, LA Tech drove 70 yards down the field on a drive that included a 41-yard reception by Taylor over the middle to set up Boston Scott’s 12-yard rushing touchdown to give the Bulldogs a 38-31 lead over Navy. Navy’s Chris High tied the game, 38-38, midway through the fourth with a 9-yard touchdown run, his second of the game, but Carlos Henderson once again took the stage later in the quarter to give Louisiana Tech another lead. With just over four minutes left in the game, Henderson caught his second touchdown of the night, both coming on fade routes on crucial third down conversions, to give the Bulldogs a 7-point lead in the final quarter. Navy responded quickly with the game-tying touchdown, a 30-yard rushing score by

Malcolm Perry to knot the game, 45-45, before LA Tech orchestrated a 9-play, 70-yard gamewinning drive that took the final 3:40 off the clock. Score by Quarters Louisiana Tech #25 Navy

EVER LOYAL BE 2015 R+L CARRIERS NEW ORLEANS BOWL

ARKANSAS STATE LOUISIANA TECH

28 47

DEC. 19 • MERCEDES BENZ SUPERDOME • NEW ORLEANS, LA.

NEW ORLEANS - Kenneth Dixon has always taken a team-first, me-last attitude. So it was fitting that on the series in which he set a new NCAA record for career touchdowns scored, the stitched numbers on his jersey were ripped off and he entered the end zone – and history – anonymously, at least visually. Dixon scored four touchdowns total (two rushing, two receiving) and helped Louisiana Tech (9-4) set the fifth-most offensive yards in NCAA bowl history as the Bulldogs won the 2015 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, 47-28, over Arkansas State (9-4) late Saturday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. He would finish the game as No. 1, both in the record books and on his jersey as he wore teammate Carlos Henderson’s number over the final quarter after Henderson left the game with a foot injury in the first quarter. “That number is symbolic of his unselfish attitude,” Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz said following the game. “It’s incredibly symbolic; Kenneth Dixon gets just as excited when somebody else scores as when he does. He gets embarrassed talking about himself, he doesn’t get embarrassed when he goes out on that field. He’s an incredible talent, an incredible young man, you put them all together and he’s pretty special.” For Louisiana Tech it was a game of breaking records. Dixon is now the NCAA’s career touchdown scorer, LA Tech’s 687 yards are the fifth-most of any bowl game in NCAA history and Tech set or tied 17 New Orleans Bowl records. But as Dixon constantly preaches, it wasn’t about him. It was about everyone else on his team. It was about Jeff Driskel completing his redemption story by winning in the Superdome after losing in the Sugar Bowl in 2013. The Tech quarterback finished the year with 4,033 passing yards, ranking third in Louisiana Tech history, and set a new career-best performance with 458 passing yards. It was about the Bulldogs making good on its week-long claim that “NOLA is Bulldog Country” with the dominating win, Tech’s 10th straight over a Sun Belt Conference opponent. And it was about the senior class becoming the school’s winningest class in its Division I history by securing the 31st win, making good on a promise they made as freshmen to take the program to heights never seen before. But as dominating as the win was, the game’s outcome was in doubt for nearly three quarters. The teams entered halftime knotted in a 17-17 tie and even traded field goals early in the second half. It took a 59-yard pass to Dixon from Driskel that pushed the Bulldogs ahead followed by Dixon running it in from eight yards out to secure the win and set the NCAA record. Jonathan Barnes would kick a 28-yard field goal early in the fourth and Dixon would score once more as the 24 unanswered points proved to be more than Arkansas State could overcome. Entering the week, turnovers were a key part of the game and critical in the pregame analysis. Deservedly so considering Arkansas State entered as the national leaders in interceptions and turnovers while Louisiana Tech committed seven turnovers in its last outing. But it was the lack of turnovers that helped decide Saturday’s outcome. Louisiana Tech did not commit a turnover while forcing three turnovers from the Red Wolves with two interceptions and a fumble. “We talked to our football team about winning the turnover battle, and that’s something that Arkansas State has done well,” Holtz said. Hardly lost in the Dixon and Driskel show was reliable receiver Trent Taylor’s New Orleans Bowl record 149 receiving yards on 10 catches. His lone touchdown catch came early in the second quarter when Driskel found him alone in the back of the end zone as the AState defense keyed in on Dixon. Louisiana Tech’s defense was its normal salty self with seven tackles for a loss of 21 yards, two forced fumbles and two interceptions. Beau Fitte led the team with seven total tackles while Vontarrius Dora registered two tackles for a loss of 12 yards. Adairius Barnes made his 10th career interception while Xavier Woods tallied his ninth career interception. With the win, Louisiana Tech joins Marshall as the only two Conference USA teams to record nine wins over the last two seasons. Score by Quarters Arkansas State Louisiana Tech

EVER LOYAL BE 2014 ZAXBY’S HEART of DALLAS BOWL

LOUISIANA TECH ILLINOIS

35 18

DEC. 26 • COTTON BOWL STADIUM • DALLAS, TEXAS

DALLAS (AP) - Louisiana Tech’s Houston Bates had a career day against his former team - his 4 1-2 sacks in the Heart of Dallas Bowl matched the number he had in three seasons at Illinois. Bates, who graduated and transferred to finish his eligibility closer to home was chosen MVP of the game after the Bulldogs beat the Illini 35-18 on Friday. “It wasn’t Houston Bates vs. Illinois. It was Louisiana Tech vs. Illinois,” Bates said. Kenneth Dixon scored one of his two touchdowns on an 80-yard reception and Xavier Woods scored on a 69-yard interception. The Bulldogs (9-5) also got touchdown runs of 16 yards from Jarred Craft and 28 yards from Blake Martin on a dark, overcast day at the Cotton Bowl stadium. Illinois (6-7) struggled early with penalties and missed field goals, but got within three points on David Reisner’s 43-yard field goal early in the fourth quarters. But Dixon scored his second TD from one yard out with six minutes left to make it 28-18 and the Illini couldn’t answer. Illinois appeared to have gotten a break when LaKeith Walls sacked Cody Sokol, causing him to fumble. Jihad Ward returned it 19 yards before Dixon forced a fumble and Sokol recovered. That drive was capped by Dixon’s TD. “The way the guys played, Kenneth and Cody and throughout the whole season, it’s truly outstanding,” Bates said. “It’s something I’m going to live for the rest of my life. And if I die tomorrow, my life would be complete.” Tech coach Skip Holtz then asked Bates to skip the humble answer and say what it really meant to him to win. “Unbelievable,” Bates added with a huge smile. “I know it’s been an emotional week for him,” Holtz said, “and I know it’s been an emotional week to see him go out and do the things that he did.” Bates had an additional sack in the closing minutes negated when a teammate couldn’t get off the field in time and the Bulldogs were penalized for having 12 players on the field. Dixon became Louisiana Tech’s career leader in yards rushing, finishing with 63 for a total of 3,410 in three seasons. He is also the only FBS player with both a run and a reception of at least 80 yards this season. Louisiana Tech went into the game tied for first place among FBS schools with 25 interceptions and first with 40 total turnovers forced. With Monday’s two Illini turnovers, Tech converted turnovers into 198 points this season. “I was just not giving up on the play,” Dixon said. “I mean, he got the ball. He was running. I got behind him and just tried to do my best to get the ball back.” “I saw Kenneth coming and, what went through my head?” Holtz said. “`Get ìm, Kenneth! Get ìm! Get ìm! Get ìm!’ And he got there. Great strip on the ball.” “That’s the game of football to me,” Illinois coach Tim Beckman said of the turnovers. “I think they’ve been very opportunistic in what they’ve done this year. We need to become that better, our defense. No question those were big, huge plays.” Tech led 21-9 lead at halftime after Reilly O’Toole’s pass was returned for a touchdown by Woods midway through the second, but Illinois responded with a 3-yard scoring run by Donovonn Young. The 2-point conversion failed, though, but Reisner banked in a field goal to cut the Bulldogs’ lead to 3. O’Toole threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Jon Davis early in the second quarter. He was 24 of 39 for a season-high 295 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Taylor Zalewski kicked a 27-yard FG in the first quarter for Illinois, which committed eight first-half penalties for 53 yards and missed two field goals attempts and an extra point. Sokol, who began his collegiate career in the Big Ten at Iowa, completed 14 of 28 passes for 247 yards and one touchdown. On Woods’ interception, the pass was thrown ahead of Dudek, whose uniform appeared to be held by Tech’s Bryson Abraham just before Woods made the grab. “Reilly threw the ball where I was supposed to be,” Dudek said. “Which I probably would have been had I not been held, but the ref didn’t call it.”

31 24

DEC. 21 • QUALCOMM STADIUM • SAN DIEGO, CALIF.

SAN DIEGO - Fifteenth-ranked TCU scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to complete a 31-24 come-from-behind victory over Louisiana Tech in the 2011 San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl Wednesday night at Qualcomm Stadium. With Tech (8-5) leading 24-17 midway through the fourth quarter, TCU running back Luke Shivers completed an impressive 18-play, 72-yard drive with a one-yard plunge with 7:49 to play to tie the game at 24-24. After a three-and-out by the Bulldog offense on its ensuing possession, TCU (11-2) took the lead on a 42-yard strike from Casey Pachall to Skye Dawson with 4:26 to play. The touchdown came on a third-down-and-five play where TCU caught the Bulldogs blitzing and the speedster Dawson beat the LA Tech secondary for the score. Quarterback Colby Cameron and the Bulldog offense had one final opportunity but another threeand-out - the third of the second half - forced a Tech punt and TCU ran out the clock by grinding out two first downs via the ground. The Bulldogs had the momentum in the opening two quarters as Matt Nelson’s 23-yard field goal with 8:30 to play in the first quarter gave Tech a 3-0 lead. The score capped a 13-play, 65-yard drive by Tech which was highlighted by a 28-yard pass from Cameron to Quinton Patton that took the Bulldogs down to the TCU 12-yard line. However, Tech was unable to get into the endzone on six plays inside the TCU red zone, forcing the field goal attempt. Following a Hunter Lee fumble inside the TCU 35-yard line late in the first quarter, the Horned Frogs drove deep inside Tech territory and tied the game on a Ross Evans 25-yard field goal with 14:11 to play in the second quarter. Tech countered immediately with a seven-play, 59-yard drive that was capped by Cameron’s two-yard strike to Patton - a play that was initially ruled as an incompletion but that was overturned after instant replay. Nelson’s extra point made it 10-3. The drive was highlighted by a 26-yard toss from Cameron to Taulib Ikharo that took the ball down to the TCU four-yard line. The Bulldogs appeared to have all the momentum heading into half until TCU corner Greg McCoy intercepted a Cameron pass with just over two minutes to play and returned it to the LA Tech 25-yard line. Four plays later, Ed Wesley tied the game on a seven-yard run with only 55 seconds to play in the half. The two teams entered the locker room tied despite the fact Tech ran 21 more offensive plays than the Horned Frogs and outgained TCU 266-144. TCU took its first lead of the contest on their opening drive of the second half as Matthew Tucker scored from one-yard out, ending an 11-play, 55-yard drive. Trailing 17-10, Tech was forced to punt on its next possession but the Bulldogs special teams came up big as Josh Cuthbert recovered a muffed punt by Brandon Carter inside the TCU red zone. Three plays later, Lee hit paydirt from two yards out and the game was tied again at 17-17. After neither team was able to move the ball on their next possessions, the Bulldog defense came up with a turnover as Quinn Giles intercepted Paschall on the Tech 39-yard line. On a third-down-and 10 play, Cameron found Myles White deep over the middle for a 61-yard touchdown. Nelson’s extra point was good as Tech regained the advantage 24-17. TCU then put together the drive of the night, marching 72 yards on 18 plays and tying the game at 24 on a one-yard run by Shivers. The Horned Frogs recorded six first downs on the drive, converting two fourth down conversions and picking up a huge first down on a defensive pass interference call in the end zone on a third-down-and-goal at the nine. The Horned Frogs dominated the time of possession in the second half, holding onto the football for 24 minutes and 10 seconds while running 52 offensive plays to LA Tech’s 21. Cameron finished the game completing 21-of-43 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns with one interception while White (7-110, 1 TD) and Patton (5-67, 1 TD) were his top two targets. Lee rushed 20 times for 64 yards and one score. Defensively, the Bulldogs were led by Jay Dudley (10 tackles, 1 TFL), Justin Goodman (9 tackles, 1.5 TFL) and Jamel Johnson (9 tackles). Tech ends the season 8-5, the most wins by a Tech team since 1999. The Bulldogs also won their second Western Athletic Conference championship and participated in their second bowl game in the last four years. Score by Quarters #15 TCU Louisiana Tech

EVER LOYAL BE 2008 INDEPENDENCE BOWL

LOUISIANA TECH 17 NORTHERN ILLINOIS 10 DEC. 28 • INDEPENDENCE STADIUM • SHREVEPORT, LA.

It’s no surprise that Louisiana Tech turned to its defense and special teams against Northern Illinois Sunday night at the 33rd Independence Bowl at Independence Stadium. Those units were instrumental all season in leading head coach Derek Dooley and Co. to its first post-season appearance since 2001 and only its third since the program joined the Football Bowl Subdivision in 1989. On Sunday night in Shreveport, once again, they came through leading Tech to a 17-10 win over the Huskies. Phillip Livas, the offensive MVP of the game, got the game started for Tech with a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the first quarter and then the Bulldogs defense stiffened the rest of the way. After allowing a NIU touchdown on only its second possession, the Tech defensive unit limited the Huskies to three points over the final three quarters of play. Senior defensive back Weldon Brown, playing before a home crowd -- Brown prepped at Bossier High School -- , earned defensive MVP honors after recording a career-high 14 tackles, one fumble recovery, one interception and a key pass breakup on a NIU fourth down play early in the game. Northern Illinois jumped out to an early 7-0 lead on an 8-yard pass from Chandler Harnish to fullback Kyle Skarb with 1:56 to play in the first quarter. The play culminated an 11-play drive covering 69 yards in 1:56. The lead was short-lived as “Saturday Night” Livas took the ensuing kickoff, ran straight up the middle before veering left towards the Bulldog sideline and raced 97 yards for a touchdown. It was Livas’ second career kickoff return for a touchdown and the sixth longest in Bulldog history. Livas, who also has two punt returns for scores this season, now has four returns for scores in his career, the second most trailing only Larry Anderson with five. The kickoff return was the second longest in Indy Bowl history and the first since Duece McAllister returned one for Ole Miss against Texas Tech in 1998. After a three-and-out by NIU on its next possession, the Bulldogs took a 14-7 lead on an 11-yard Daniel Porter touchdown run with 13:41 to play in the second quarter. The touchdown, which came on a draw play on second and goal, capped a 5-play, 42-yard drive over 2:04. After another three-and-out by NIU, Tech appeared to have threatened again when senior Patrick Jackson took a handoff and raced over 50 yards inside the Huskies 10-yard line but a holding penalty negated the play. After a failed third down attempt brought up a fourth down and seven, Tech attempted a fake punt but Quin Harris was tackled a foot short of the line to gain as NIU took over on the Tech 46-yard line. The game remained 14-7 but the Bulldogs had a golden opportunity to take a bigger lead into the half when Weldon Brown recovered a fumbled punt return by the Huskies with only 36 seconds remaining in the half. However, after three straight incompletions by Ross Jenkins, Brad Oestriecher had a 41-yard field goal attempt partially blocked by Jake Coffman as the Bulldogs entered the halftime locker room leading by a touchdown. Oestriecher redeemed himself early in the third quarter as the Bulldogs marched 49 yards on eight plays and took a 17-7 lead on a 33-yard field goal at the 11:54 mark. NIU answered on its ensuing possession as the Huskies drove 66 yards on 10 plays and connected on a 20-yard field goal by Mike Salerno. The big play for NIU during the drive was a third down completion from Harnish to Marcus Perez that covered 40 yards and gave the Huskies the ball on the Tech 8-yard line. However, little did anyone know that would be the last of the scoring for either team. Over the last five offensive possessions of the game for NIU, the Tech defense held the Huskies to only 103 yards and NIU ventured past midfield only once -- the Bulldogs defense held on a fourth-down-and-five play on its own 46 yard line with less than two minutes to play. The Bulldogs on the other hand had a couple of opportunities to add on to their total as Patrick Jackson fumbled inside the NIU 15-yard line after a 34-yard gain on a screen pass from Ross Jenkins midway through the fourth quarter. Tech also failed to capitalize after Brown intercepted Harnish at the Huskies 37-yard line with 6:25 to play. The Bulldogs lost five yards on their three offensive plays and were forced to punt. The eight wins is the most by a Bulldog team since the 1999 Tech squad posted an 8-3 mark and the bowl win was the first since the 1977 Independence Bowl.

CLEMSON LOUISIANA TECH

49 24

DEC. 31 • BRONCO STADIUM • BOISE, IDAHO

Four third-quarter touchdowns, including two Woody Dantzler scoring passes, were too much for Louisiana Tech to overcome, as the Clemson Tigers downed the Bulldogs 4924 in the 2001 Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl before 23,472 fans at Bronco Stadium Dec. 31, 2001. Trailing only 14-10 at the half, Tech failed to find an answer for Dantzler and company in the third quarter. Dantzler, who finished the afternoon completing 15 of 23 passes for 218 yards and four touchdowns, found running back Bernard Rambert for perhaps the game’s biggest play early in the second half. Leading 21-10, Rambert caught a short pass out of the backfield on third down, and after appearing to be stopped short, spun out of the arms of four Bulldog tacklers and raced 62 yards down the sideline to give Clemson a 28-10 advantage. The play seemed to take all of the life out of the Bulldogs. A Rambert 21-yard touchdown scamper, followed by an Airese Currie 19-yard jaunt, increased the Tiger lead to 42-10 heading into the final stanza. The loss of All-WAC selections Bobby Gray and Jamie Nichols to first half injuries added to the Bulldogs’ defensive difficulties. After holding Clemson to only 14 points and 207 yards in the first half, the injury-riddled Bulldogs’ defense allowed 35 points and 341 yards in the second stanza. Two Bulldog touchdowns in the fourth quarter, a 34-yard Luke McCown pass to Delwyn Daigre and a Joe Smith two-yard plunge, closed the gap to 49-24. However, Clemson wasn’t satisfied with the score. The Tigers drove down the field in the final three minutes and instead of running out the clock, attempted a pass into the end zone with under 30 seconds left before also attempting to run the ball in from the one-yard line on the game’s final play. Tech took an early 3-0 lead in the first quarter on a Josh Scobee 29-yard field goal on the Bulldogs’ first possession. Clemson scored the game’s first touchdown when Dantzler found tight end Mike Bailey from 10 yards out for a 7-3 lead with 5:48 remaining in the first quarter. The Bulldogs retook the lead at 10-7 when McCown raced in from 11 yards away midway through the second quarter. However, a 15-yard penalty against Tech on the extra point allowed Clemson great field position on its next drive. Two plays later, Dantzler threw his second touchdown pass of the game and Clemson took a 14-10 advantage into the locker room. One of the bright spots for Tech was the play of Daigre, who earned the most valuable player of the game award for the Bulldogs. Daigre caught 10 passes for 178 yards and one touchdown in his final game. Despite the disappointing loss, the Bulldogs finished their season 7-5, including the program’s first Western Athletic Conference title.

DEC. 15 • INDEPENDENCE STADIUM • SHREVEPORT, LA.

SHREVEPORT, La. - An Independence Bowl record crowd of 48,325 showed up to see Louisiana Tech and Maryland battle to a 34-34 tie in one of the most exciting games of the bowl season. Chris Boniol’s 29-yard field goal as time expired gave the Bulldogs the tie. Louisiana Tech, participating in its first bowl game since joining the Division I-A ranks prior to the 1989 season, fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter as Maryland running back Troy Jackson scored on a one-yard run and a two-yard run. However, the Bulldogs would not let the predominantly Louisiana Tech crowd down as they fought back to tie the game at 14-14 at the half. Tech’s first touchdown came with 8:30 remaining in the second quarter on a five-yard Michael Richardson run, and Boniol’s extra point made the score 14-7 Terps. Head coach Joe Raymond Peace’s team tied the game with only 0:17 remaining in the first half on a three-yard Jason Davis touchdown run as the two teams entered their respective locker rooms tied at 14. Louisiana Tech came out in the second half and quickly took a 21-14 lead on a Richardson oneyard run. Jackson scored his third touchdown of the game for Maryland, but the extra point failed as Tech led 21-20. The Bulldogs upped their advantage to 28-20 when Gene Johnson hooked up with Bobby Slaughter on a seven-yard scoring toss. A Boniol field goal gave Tech a 31-20 lead. Maryland scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to pull ahead 34-31, the last coming with only 0:52 remaining on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Scott Zolak to Barry Johnson on a fourth down play. Lorenzo Baker returned the ensuing kickoff 41 yards to the Terps 39-yard line setting up the final Boniol heroics. Richardson (81 yards, two scores) and Davis (72 yards, one score) led Tech’s ground attack, while Johnson and Sam Hughes combined to complete 11 of 17 passes for 115 yards and one score.

Tech’s return trip to the Independence Bowl was quite different from the first as East Carolina defeated the Bulldogs 35-13. The Pirates forced four fumbles and intercepted Bulldogs quarterback Eric Barkley three times en route to the victory. ECU took control of the game early, scoring twice in the first quarter. The Pirates pushed their lead to 21-0 on a touchdown run early in the second quarter. The Bulldogs answered less than two minutes later with a 32-yard touchdown strike. Tech cut the lead to 21-10 with a 36-yard field goal less than a minute before the end of the half. The second half was virtually all East Carolina. Swilley booted another 36-yard field goal six minutes into the third quarter, but that was the end of the offensive night for the Bulldogs. Pirate running back Theodore Sutton raced 45 yards for a touchdown with just under seven minutes remaining in the quarter. The Pirates sealed the victory with another touchdown late in the game. ECU rolled up 278 yards rushing on the night, while holding the Bulldogs to only 12 yards on the ground.

DEC. 17 • STATE FAIR STADIUM • SHREVEPORT, LA.

Tech used a high-powered passing attack and a stingy defense to defeat the favored University of Louisville, 24-14, in the school’s first Division I bowl game appearance. Bulldog sophomore quarterback Keith Thibodeaux was named the game’s most valuable player, completing 19 of 39 passes for 287 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The Cardinals looked to take control of the game early when safety Kevin Miller returned a Bulldog punt 60 yards for the game’s first touchdown less than two minutes into the contest. However, that was the end of the road for Louisville as Thibodeaux proceeded to pick apart the Cardinal secondary. The Opelousas native drove the Bulldogs 68 yards to paydirt, tying the score. Running back Charlie Lewis capped the drive, punching it in from one yard out. Later in the first quarter Thibodeaux hooked up with receiver George Pree for a 41-yard scoring strike to give the Bulldogs a 13-7 lead. Tech never looked back, pushing its lead to 21-7 late in the first when Thibodeaux connected with tight end Larry McCartney from eight yards out and Lewis added the two-point conversion. Tech added a 21-yard Keith Swilley field goal in the second quarter. Louisville tried to climb back into the game in the third, scoring on a 13-yard run by Miller midway through the quarter. However, that was all the Bulldogs would allow. Tech forced three fumbles, an interception and held the Cardinals to only 11 first downs. The Louisville offense could muster only 100 yards rushing and an astonishing 61 yards through the air.

1984 NCAA DIVISION I-AA CHAMPIONSHIP Montana State 19, Louisiana Tech 6 December 15, Charleston, S.C. After an impressive run in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, Louisiana Tech struggled in the 1984 National Championship game as Montana State defeated the Bulldogs 19-6. After scoring 131 points in its three previous playoff wins to advance to the title game, the Bulldog offense sputtered all afternoon long in large part because of the stellar play of the Bobcats defense, which sacked Tech quarterback Kyle Gandy 11 times. Montana State opened the game with a 33-yard Mark Carter field goal on its second possession after Gandy threw an interception deep in Bulldog territory. Two possessions later, following a blocked punt by Montana State, the Bobcats scored the game’s first touchdown as Kelly Bradley hit Joe Bignell for a 17-yard scoring strike. Carter’s extra point was wide left, but Montana State still led 9-0. Montana State’s defense held Louisiana Tech without a first down in the opening 15 minutes of play while forcing two Bulldog turnovers. The second quarter started better for the Bulldogs as Tech marched down to the Montana State 27-yard line before Gandy fumbled and the Bobcats recovered, ending the Tech scoring threat. Montana State upped its advantage to 16-0 as it drove 80 yards, capped by a Bradley to Bignell 33-yard scoring strike. Carter added a 48-yard field goal right before the half as the Bobcats took a commanding 19-0 lead into the locker room. After gaining only 62 total yards of offense in the first half, Tech had a little more success in the final two quarters of play. However, Gandy’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Mike Sherman with only 0:48 remaining in the game was too little too late as Montana State won the 1984 Division I-AA National Championship. Gandy finished the afternoon, completing 24 of 38 passes for 287 yards and the one score but was intercepted four times by the Bobcats defense. Bradley posted stellar numbers for Montana State, completing 32 of 57 passes for 334 yards and two scores while Bignell registered 10 receptions for 130 yards and two touchdowns.

THE LEGEND OF THE BULLDOG The story takes place in the autumn of 1899 when five Tech students were returning home from school. They came upon an old, hungry bulldog sitting under a tree. The boys fed the dog with what food they had and continued their journey. When they finally reached their destination, however, they found that the dog had followed them. Being sensitive young men, they sought permission for the dog to stay the night, and the landlord agreed – if the animal remained in the kitchen. That night the house caught fire. Their overnight guest was the first to awaken. The dog ran from room to room, rousing everyone in the building. Then, after all the other occupants had made their way to safety, one boy remained inside. The bulldog re-entered the smoke-filled house in an apparent attempt to rescue him, not realizing the boy had escaped in a different direction. After the fire was extinguished and smoke had finally cleared, the boys went inside to see if the dog had indeed made it out to safety. But when they entered they found the lifeless bulldog lying in an unburned corner of one room. He had died from the smoke and the heat. Naturally, the young men were shaken due to the death of their new friend. So they picked him up and carried him to the place they had found him the previous day. They then dug a grave and wrapped him in two jackets – one red and the other blue. When the boys returned to school and related their story, the entire campus mourned the death of the homeless dog. The dog with no name had found a place in the hearts of Tech students. Two years later, Tech organized a football team and decided the team needed not only school colors, but a mascot. A unanimous decision was reached as the bulldog, the first hero of Tech, was given the honor and the red and blue blankets he was buried in were made the school colors.

EVER LOYAL BE BIO, Dr. Leslie K. Guice Became 14th president of Louisiana Tech University, July 1, 2013

DR. LES

GUICE

University President @LKGuice

On Nov. 22, 1975, Les Guice, the future president of Louisiana Tech University but at the time a Tech junior architecture major, put a metaphorical but very visible exclamation point on two of his life’s biggest loves. First, he married to Kathy May, now his wife of 43 years, in south Arkansas. Second, the very newly newlyweds immediately headed to Ruston to watch Louisiana Tech’s football team play Arkansas State. In the cold and rain. Tech lost. Les and Kathy didn’t. Several diplomas, three sons and three grandchildren later, they are still going strong and leading their alma mater to new heights. Dr. Guice and Tech share a rich history together that spans five decades and has produced family ties that are deeply rooted in a passion for the Bulldogs and Lady Techsters. From an architecture student stepping on the campus for the first time in 1972 to an appointment as Louisiana Tech’s 14th President in 2013, Guice has shown an unwavering commitment to leadership and service to his alma mater. One of Guice’s first achievements at Tech was earning a bachelor of arts in architecture in 1976. Discovering a passion for engineering under the mentorship of professor Jack Painter, Guice went on to earn a master’s degree in civil engineering from Tech in 1978 and decided to pursue teaching and education as his profession. His dedication to his students, his faculty and the University would lead to his appointment as dean of Tech’s College of Engineering and Science (COES) in 1999. As Dean, Guice continued to encourage and support innovations in the curricula. The College’s faculty became increasingly successful in securing external funding for the integrated curriculum which resulted in a transformative redesign of curricula throughout the College. Guice’s leadership and vision also reinvigorated the Engineering and Science Foundation to more effectively serve the needs of the College. He initiated a new integrated strategic plan, known as “COES 2010,” and capital campaign, “Tech’s BEST,” that led to funding for an Eminent Scholar Chair, 15 Professorships, a $500k Scholarship Fund, and several new laboratories and facilities. With a focus on the future and a progressive vision for economic development, Guice has led the planning and development of the Louisiana Tech Enterprise Campus, a research park connecting the University and downtown Ruston. Enterprise Campus’ first building, Tech Pointe, was completed in 2012 and is now home for several companies and organizations; another building to house emerging companies is already needed. Because of a revitalized relationship between the City of Ruston and the University, and thanks to the Ruston citizens and friends and supporters of Tech, the partnership has resulted in about $300 million in investments, private and public, during the past two years. Much of that growth is due to Tech’s problem-solving, opportunity-seizing president. As president, Guice is the chief executive officer of north Louisiana’s only Carnegie Foundation national research university and one of only two public universities from Louisiana recognized in the top tier of national universities by U.S. News and World Report. Throughout his career, Guice has contributed to and played a central role in creating the culture and vision for the future of Tech; he continues that commitment as president. His focus on campus-wide engagement and building and growing relationships, plus his leadership in forging a path toward advancement of the University’s academic and athletic programs, research and commercialization activities, and economic development efforts means that Louisiana Tech University’s best days are yet to come.

EVER LOYAL BE TOMMY

McCLELLAND Director of Athletics @TMcClelland

Since stepping on campus in July of 2013, the cornerstone of Louisiana Tech Director of Athletics Tommy McClelland’s leadership has been the philosophy of building champions on the playing fields, in the classrooms and in life. While leading Louisiana Tech into the Conference USA era, McClelland impacts the athletics department through fundraising, facility improvements, coaching hires and overall student-athlete development. If the past five years are an indication, McClelland’s philosophy is paying dividends in Ruston. In fact one could argue that since his arrival in Ruston, Louisiana Tech has seen its most impressive five-year run since the 1970s. Over the past five years, the University has seen postseason appearances by football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, softball, golf and track and field. During his time in Ruston, the Louisiana Tech programs have all taken strides forward on the playing fields, highlighted by: Football – the Bulldogs are one of just four teams nationally that have won a bowl game in each of the past four years, joining Clemson, Wisconsin and Utah. Since 2013, Tech has had more players selected in the NFL Draft than any other Conference USA program. Men’s Basketball – the Bulldogs were one of just 13 teams in the nation to record 23-plus wins five straight years (Tech won 17 this past year). Tech won a pair of regular season conference titles during this stretch. Women’s Basketball – Head coach Brooke Stoehr (a former Lady Techster great) led the program to back-to-back Women’s National Invitation Tournament appearances and top four finishes in the C-USA regular season. Baseball – Louisiana Tech has won 35-plus games for three straight seasons, the longest such streak since the 1980s while making its first NCAA Regional appearance in 30 years when the Bulldogs won 40-plus games and reached the Starkville Regional finals in 2016. Softball – the Lady Techsters have recorded four straight 30-plus win seasons for the first time in two decades. Tech won its first Conference USA Tournament title in 2017, earning a spot in the 2017 NCAA Tournament in the Tuscaloosa Regional where it took No. 1 ranked Minnesota to extra innings before falling. Men’s Golf – the 2016 Bulldog golf team shocked everyone in route to capturing the Conference USA team title (its first since 1980) and clinching the program’s first ever appearance in the NCAA Regionals. Victor Lange became the first Bulldog to ever earn three straight strips to the NCAA Regionals. Louisiana Tech was one of only seven FBS schools in the country to have 9-plus football wins, 20-plus MBB wins, 35-plus baseball wins and 35-plus softball wins (one of only two non-Power 5 teams to accomplish it: BYU) during the 2016-17 campaign. That same season Tech also became only the second C-USA program to finish in the top 5 in football, women’s basketball, men’s basketball, baseball, softball and soccer in the same season in league’s history (East Carolina, 2012-13). 2015-16 also saw some impressive achievements. Louisiana Tech joined Florida, Florida State, Ohio State and Ole Miss as the only five Football Bowl Subdivision schools to recorded 9-plus wins in football, 20-plus wins in men’s basketball and 40-plus wins in baseball. It was also one of only 12 FBS programs to play in the postseason in each of those three sports, joining Florida, Connecticut, Florida State, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Washington, Duke, Arizona, Utah and Miami (Fla.). Pretty elite company. Off the field, Louisiana Tech student-athletes have blossomed in the classroom as well. During McClelland’s time in Ruston, a total of 726 LA Tech studentathletes have been recognized on the Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll while another 173 have earned the C-USA Academic Medal, including a record 47 in 2017-18.

Louisiana Tech senior soccer star Katie Sloan was named the 2016 CoSIDA Academic All-America of the Year for Division I Women’s Soccer, becoming the first student-athlete in LA Tech history to receive this prestigious honor. The University has also seen its athletic programs continue to earn high marks in both the NCAA’s annual Academic Progress Report (APR) and Graduation Success Rate, ranking among the state and conference leaders in many of these marks. Perhaps the most tangible sign of McClelland’s impact at Louisiana Tech are in facilities with the addition of the $23-plus million Davison Athletics Complex and the $18-plus million press box and luxury suites at Joe Aillet Stadium. These two new facilities not only changed the landscape of football game-day in Ruston but also produce more than $1.2 million in additional revenue per year for LA Tech Athletics. In addition to the new construction, the department has seen upgrades and renovations to many of its other athletic facilities, such as the addition of the $1.2 million Paul Millsap Vision presented by Community Trust Bank, a high definition video display board in the Thomas Assembly Center. The project also included a customized sound system for the Thomas Assembly Center and a video board control room, utilized for both football and basketball. Louisiana Tech Athletics has also seen record numbers in private giving in each of the last four years, including surpassing $1.6 million in giving to the Louisiana Tech Athletics Club (LTAC) for the first time ever this past year. Tech has also seen record numbers in most LTAC donors in the past three years. During the 2013-14 fiscal year, McClelland spearheaded the efforts in raising more than $10.8 million through both LTAC and Quest for Excellence; more than double any previous year in Tech Athletics history. Included in the record total were five, seven-figure gifts. Louisiana Tech also made the announcement in the fall of 2015 that it partnered with Adidas America, Inc. to establish a transformational 5-year exclusive agreement that outfits all 16 NCAA men’s and women’s programs in Adidas uniforms, apparel, footwear and equipment through the 20202021 athletics season. During his time in Ruston, McClelland has also groomed a pair of newly named athletic directors in Lamar AD Marco Born and Florida Atlantic AD Brian White. Both Born and White served on McClelland’s senior staff during their time in Ruston. Prior to coming to Ruston, McClelland made a national name for himself after quickly elevating to the athletics director position at age 26. He earned high praise from a number of high-profile experienced athletic administrators. “Tommy McClelland is an outstanding leader and one of the nation’s rising stars in intercollegiate athletics,” said Bubba Cunningham, athletics director at the University of North Carolina. “He has a demonstrated commitment to supporting and developing his coaches and student-athletes and has already become well-known among ADs for his leadership, vision and character. Tommy has also shown a dedication to lifelong learning and the application of his skills and talents to making his athletic programs better.”

EVER LOYAL BE Prior to being named athletic director at McNeese State on March 19, 2008, McClelland served as interim athletic director and assistant athletic director of internal affairs at the university. In his time at McNeese, McClelland and his staff had numerous success stories when it came to increased revenue streams and the overall game-day experience in Lake Charles. He raised more than $3 million in private donations, and he was instrumental in increasing corporate sponsorships to nearly $1 million, while securing new clients and multi-year sponsorships. McClelland was also responsible for increasing football season ticket sales: the program eclipsed the 8,000 mark in 2008 with a high of 8,035 in 2009. In addition, he was instrumental in setting single-game attendance records in baseball, volleyball, softball, soccer, women’s basketball and women’s tennis. “Tommy is a rising star in the college athletics administration field and, in my view, the ideal leader to advance Louisiana Tech’s athletics program as it transitions into Conference USA,” said Liberty Athletics Director Ian McCaw. “He possesses impeccable integrity and has an extraordinary work ethic. Moreover, his interpersonal and relational skills are outstanding and will enable him to quickly connect with Bulldog fans as well as campus and community leaders.” One of McClelland’s main goals was to improve the life of the studentathletes and increase the game-day experience for the McNeese State fan base. One of the most effective ways to accomplish these goals was by improving the facilities. During his time at McNeese State, he oversaw a combined total of over $11 million dollars in facility renovation and new construction. The combination of increased revenue streams, renovations and new construction, and a highly-involved fan base led to plenty of success stories on the playing fields. During his tenure as athletic director, McNeese won Southland Conference championships in football (2007, 2009), soccer (2006, tournament; 2007, regular season), softball (2010, tournament; 2013, regular season), men’s basketball (2011, regular season), women’s basketball (2011, regular season; 2011 and 2012 tournament) and men’s cross country (2012). The women’s basketball program made its first appearances ever in the NCAA Tournament, and the men’s basketball program hosted the first round of the NIT postseason tournament (Boston College live on ESPNU). Even more impressive is the fact that while the Cowboy and Cowgirl programs were capturing titles on the fields, the University’s student-athletes were making tremendous strides in the classroom. In five of McClelland’s six years as athletics director, McNeese State led the Southland Conference in the number of student-athletes named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. In addition, McClelland guided the resurgence in APR success in Lake Charles. The number of athletic programs boasting the required APR score of 925 went from four in his first year to all 16 in his final year. The community service hours performed by the MSU student-athletes also tripled to more than 3,000 during his tenure. “Tommy has a great knowledge of college athletics and excels at helping his student-athletes balance and succeed in their commitments to academics and athletics,” said Michigan Athletics Director Warde Manuel. “Tommy has also proven his ability to work effectively with coaches and administrators to help his programs be successful.” McClelland earned his bachelor’s degree from Northwestern State in 2004 and completed his master’s degree in sports administration in 2005. He walked on with the Demons football team and eventually earned a scholarship; he also competed in the javelin for the NSU track and field team. The native of Basile, Louisiana served as a graduate assistant at Northwestern State in athletics and also worked at the Southland Conference office as an administrative intern, assisting with championship events. McClelland is also a 2012 graduate of the Executive Program of the Sports Management Institute and attended instruction at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. McClelland is married to the former Jessica Stokes of Garrison, Texas. They have two sons, Lawson (8) and Grayson (7).
